KROK 1 2018 – Question 23 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
A child diagnosed with purulent inflammation of the middle ear was brought to the otolaryngology department. The disease started with the inflammation of the nasopharynx. It was determined that the infection had reached the tympanic cavity through the eustachian tube that is located in the:
- A. Canaliculus chordae tympani
- B. Canalis caroticus
- C. Canaliculi caroticotympanici
- D. Canaliculus tympanicus
- E. Canalis musculotubarius
Hint
Think which bony passage of the temporal bone houses the tube linking the nasopharynx with the middle ear, as opposed to the passages for nerves and arteries.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
