All mammals have the standard 3 auditory ossicles of the middle ear. This sets them apart from the other animals. These bones amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.

  • tympanic side = malleus or hammer
  • middle = incus or anvil
  • oval window side = stapes or stirrup
