It is suggested that levator veli palati muscle is the main muscle to keep eustachian tube open, and this muscle has distinct change in different cephalic morphologic pattern. 结果提示腭帆提肌是咽鼓管开放的主导肌,并且该肌随颅型变化拉力方向相应改变。
The attachments of eustachian tube, levator and tensor veli palati muscles on the base of the skull were measured from the skulls of human adults, infants, newborns ad well as monkeys, dogs and rabbits, respectively. 以咽鼓管、腭帆提肌和腭帆张肌在颅底的附着点为依据,分别测量了成人、幼儿、新生儿、猴、犬和兔的颅骨。
