Arteries

Arteries are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs where oxygen is picked up by red blood cells. Systemic arteries deliver blood to the rest of the body.

Veins

Veins are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart. Veins can be categorized into four main types: pulmonary, systemic, superficial, and deep veins.

Capillaries

Capillaries are extremely small vessels located within the tissues of the body that transport blood from the arteries to the veins. Fluid and gas exchange between capillaries and body tissues takes place at capillary beds.

Sinusoids

Sinusoids are extremely small vessels located within the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

Arterioles

a small diameter blood vessel that branches out from an artery to a capillary

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Otitis media is generally caused by dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, which can be due to Pharyngitis.

The otitis media is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear and is mostly caused by the inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nasopharynx leading to dysfunction of the Eustachian tube. This can be caused due to a upper respiratory tract viral infection or streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat) or due to some allergy.

Pharyngitis or sore throat is a type of inflammation caused by upper respiratory tract viral infection.

Therefore, Otitis media can be caused by Pharyngitis and thus it is associated with it.
