The guttural pouch, also known as the ''[[Ear - Anatomy & Physiology|Auditory]] Tube Diverticulum'' is a long, slitlike opening connecting the [[Nasal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|nasal cavity]] and [[Ear - Anatomy & Physiology#Middle Ear|middle ear]] which dilates to form pouches which can have a capacity of 300-500ml in the domestic horse.
