The malleus, incus, and stapes are a chain of small bones in the middle ear. Sound waves hit the ear drum and together with the other bones it tends to transmit the vibrations from the ear drum to the cochlea to the brain so as to unable one to hear.

Where in the human body is the Malleus?
The Ear
What does the malleus do in the ear?
The malleus is a tiny bone in the middle ear that transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the incus (another middle ear bone). This process helps amplify and transfer sound energy to the inner ear, where it is converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
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.
Passes sound vibrations to the middle ear?
The outer ear
What bone is a small rounded projection?
malleus,ear bone
What is malleus?
Is a part of the middle ear also know as the Hammer.
Which is not one of the three bones in the middle ear?
hammer (malleus)
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 many Ossiclos in each ear?
three each, the incus, malleus, and stapes Three in each ear
