Torus tubarius

Auditory tube, laid open by a cut in its long axis. (Torus tubarius not labeled.)
Gray\'s	subject #230 1043
Dorlands/Elsevier	t_14/12813973

The base of the cartilaginous portion of the Eustachian tube lies directly under the mucous membrane of the nasal part of the pharynx, where it forms an elevation, the torus tubarius or cushion, behind the pharyngeal orifice of the tube.
