- Why are you more easily able to sink to the bottom of the swimming pool when you expel as much air as possible from your lungs?arrow_forwardThe tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is a structure that separates the external and middle parts of the ear (see the figure). It is sensitive to and vibrates in response to changes in air pressure and transmits these vibrations to other structures in the inner ear that lead to the sensation of hearing: Under normal conditions, the pressure on the inside and outside of the tympanic membrane are kept approximately equal. The auditory tube, also called the Eustachian tube, is responsible for this equilibration. However, rapid changes in external pressure can cause large pressure differentials on the tympanic membrane, causing it to rupture. A differential force across the eardrum membrane as little as 5.0 N can cause a rupture.
