The auditory ossicles are associated with the tympanic membrane (eardrum) on the malleus/hammer side and the oval window in the stapes/stirrup side. The base rises from the temporal bone and these "little bones" are exposed to the air environment of the middle ear.

The associated bones of the skull include what?
hyoid and auditory ossicles
Air filled space containing auditory ossicles?
The tympanic cavity.
What is the function of the auditory ossicles and what are their names?
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 hammer· middle = incus or anvil· oval window side = stapes or stirrup
Which structures in the middle ear reduce the ear sensitivity to sound?
The necessary anatomical structures within the middle ear for the detection of sound include the tympanic membrane, the three auditory ossicles, and the two muscles that control the resonance of the ossicles. The three auditory ossicles (ie bones of the ear) are the malleus, incus, and the stapes. The tensor tympani muscle pulls on the malleus and the Stapedius muscle pulls on the stapes. The tension and relaxation of these two muscles control the amplification of sound. This acts to protect against the damage loud noises can cause to the inner ear.
What is the smallest human bone and where is it found?
The smallest human bone is the stapes (aka stirrup) which is one of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear.
What are the three small bones linked together to connect to the eardrum to the inner ear?
auditory ossicles
How many bones in Auditory Ossicles?
3
Osteosclerosis is a condition involving what?
auditory ossicles
What is another medical term for auditory ossicle?
The term "ossicles" literally means "tiny bones" and commonly refers to the auditory ossicles, though the term may refer to any small bone throughout the body. The three auditory ossicles are the hammer, stirrup, and anvil.
What connects the tympanic membrane to the inner ear?
auditory ossicles
Do ossicles equalize pressure?
No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.
What is fusion of the ossicles?
Fusion or fixation of the ossicles is where one or more of the three auditory ossicles cannot transmit sound vibrations for a variety of reasons. This does cause "conduction" deafness or hearing loss.
Consisting of the smallest bone?
Auditory ossicles of the ear are the smallest bones of the body.
Why are the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone referred to a associated bones of the skull?

The vibrations received by the tympanic membrane are transferred to the oval window by the?

The associated bones of the skull include what?

What happens if spongy bone grows between the auditory ossicles?
Spongy bone growing between the auditory ossicles is called otosclerosis. This is one of the causes of Conductive Deafness or Hearing Loss where the ossicles are not able to "conduct" the sound vibrations from the eardrum to the oval window. The spongy bone "dampens" the vibrations instead of amplifying them.
