Sound vibrations are amplified and transmitted by the three auditory ossicles.
Their correct order is:
- tympanic side = malleus or hammer
- middle = incus or anvil
- oval window side = stapes or stirrup

Are the malleus incus and stapes parts of the Organ of Corti?
NO. The malleus, incus and stapes are the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. The Organ of Corti are located in the inner ear.
Where is the auditory ossicle malleus located?
The auditory osscle called the malleus/hammer is located in the middle ear:tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
How does the eardrum function in an ear?
It vibrates,to conducting the sound down into the three small bones.(malleus,incus and stapes)p>
Is malleus is attached to the typanic membrane?
Yes, the stapes is the 3rd and final ossicle lying adjacent to the oval window.tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE EAR MALLEUS?
Sound waves cause the Tympanic Membrane (eardrum) to vibrate, which in turn causes the Malleus (hammer) to transmit those vibrations to the next tiny bone in the ear, called the Incus (anvil). The Incus, in turn, transmits those vibrations to the third small bone in the ear, called the Stapes (stirrup). The Stapes then transmits the vibrations to the membrane of the inner ear, where they can be communicated to the brain for processing and interpretation (hearing).
How are the ossicles of the middle ear connected?
The ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear are connected by joints.incudomalleolar joint (malleus & incus)incudostapedial joint (incus and stapes)
What is the common name for the malleus?
Malleus-"Hammer" Incus-"Anvil" Stapes-"Stirrup"
Are the malleus incus and stapes parts of the Organ of Corti?
NO. The malleus, incus and stapes are the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. The Organ of Corti are located in the inner ear.
What is the ossicular chain made up of?
the malleus, the incus, and the stapes
What is the function of the malleus incus and stapes?
The malleus, incus and stapes are the smallest bones in the human body. Collectively they are the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. Their purpose is to amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
Do humans have ear bones?
Yes, they have three of them: the malleus, incus, and stapes.
What are the temporal bones tha play a part in hearing?
Malleus, incus, and stapes.
What are the three smallest bones in a human ear?
The ossicles-the malleus, the incus, and the stapes.
What is the three smallest bones in are body?
The three bones in your ear (the Auditory Ossicle) are the smallest in the human body. They are the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. Commonly called the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup respectively.
What are the bones in your ear?
Malleus, Incus and Stapes. They are sometimes called hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
What are the smallest in the body?
The incus (anvil), malleus (hammer) and stapes (stirrup) bones in the ear.
Passes sound vibrations to the middle ear?
The outer ear
