Different kinds of biological gas pockets and the special character of the middle ear as a gas pocket are discussed. The pattern of gas absorption from the normal middle ear and from ears with blocked Eustachian tubes is presented. The amount of gas leaving the ear by diffusion and the resulting underpressure from this process are determined. The composition of air in the ear is compared to that in experimental gas pockets and the role of the partial pressures of CO2 and O2 in secretory otitis media is discussed.
本文讨论了不同类型的生物气腔以及中耳作为气腔的特殊性质。介绍了正常中耳和咽鼓管阻塞的耳朵中气体吸收的模式。确定了通过扩散离开耳朵的气体量以及该过程产生的负压。将耳内空气的成分与实验气腔中的成分进行了比较，并讨论了二氧化碳和氧气分压在分泌性中耳炎中的作用。
