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 does the eardrum function in an ear?
It vibrates,to conducting the sound down into the three small bones.(malleus,incus and stapes)p>
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 name of the ear ossicle called the hammer?
The auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe first ossicle would be the malleus or hammer/mallet.
Which is a structure in the middle ear that can be partially visualized during otoscopy?
malleus
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
Where in the body is the malleus?
The Ear
What is hammer of the ear?
malleus
What the function of tympanum?
The tympanum's function is to help the ear hear. It does this by vibrating sounds to the first bone in the middle ear called the malleus. It is commonly called an "eardrum."
What is the incus?
The incus is a small muscle in you ear which is connected to the eardrum and malleus. The malleus increases the loudness of sound that enters the ear.

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.
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
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 is the name of the ear ossicle called the hammer?
The auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe first ossicle would be the malleus or hammer/mallet.
Which is not one of the three bones in the middle ear?
hammer (malleus)
