What is the importance of the anvil?
The Anvil is one of the three bones (among the stirrup and the hammer) which conducts sound from the ear drum to the middle ear.
Where in the body would you find a hammer?
I dont know if you're referring to the hammer as in the ear. Also called the malleus. "The middle ear, an air-filled cavity behind the ear drum (tympanic membrane), includes the three ear bones or ossicles: the malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil), and stapes (or stirrup)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear
Is the stirrup in the middle part of the ear?
Yes it is located in the middle ear along with the anvil and hammer; stapes, incus, malleus. These are the three bones that transmit sound waves from the ear drum to the cochlear membrane.
How is the eardrum like a musical drum?
it's like a eardrum because in the middle air, these waves make the eardrum vibrate. The vibration of the eardrum move three tiny bones called the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup.
What organ detects sound?
The ear drum. Then the ear drum pass the vibrations onto the hammer, stirrup, and anvil (the smallest bones in the human body in the inner ear), where nerves send electrical impulses called synapses to the brain. The brain processes the vibrations and sends you the sound the noise created.

Function of the hammer anvil stirrup?
Hearing. They transmit the sound vibrations from the ear drum to the inner ear.
What is hammer stirrup and anvil used for?
The hammer, stirrup, and anvil are three tiny bones in your inner ear.They act as levers, to amplify the vibrations created by the ear drum. Ear drum oscillations are very weak, not strong enough to sufficiently move the liquid inside the cochlea. These three bones, also called ossicles are critical to hearing.
What is the anvil in your ear used for?
Sound travels by vibrating things. First the molecules in the air vibrate. This makes the ear drum vibrate. This makes three small bones vibrate. The three bones are the anvil, hammer and the stirrup.

What is the path of a sound wave as it travels to your brain?
Source ==> conducting media ==> outer ear ==> middle ear ==> ear drum ==> hammer ==> anvil ==> stirrup ==> cochlea ==> cilia ==> auditory nerves ==> brain
Is the stirrup in the middle part of the ear?
Yes it is located in the middle ear along with the anvil and hammer; stapes, incus, malleus. These are the three bones that transmit sound waves from the ear drum to the cochlear membrane.
What is an ear anvil?
The Anvil is one of 3 tiny bones in the ear connecting the Ear drum (Tympanic membrane) to the cochlear. like the other 2 bones its function is to transfer sound movements of the Ear drum to be transmitted to the cochlear so that the hairs within the cochlear can sense sound. It's how we hear! The other 2 bones are called "Stirrup" and "Hammer"

What is the bone known as the hammer in the ear?
The hammer (malleus) joins the inside of the eardrum. It sends sound vibrations to the incus from the eardrum. The anvil (incus) has a broad joint with the hammer and a very delicate joint to the stirrup (stapes). Refer to related question below.
What part of the ear vibrate?
Hi...as far as I am aware it is the ear drum that vibrates........... the sound having been collected by the visible part of the ear then directed through the ear canal to the ear drum thus causing the anvil, the hammer and the stirrup (the 3 bones in the ear) to vibrate......... hope this helps
