The bones in the middle ear are ossified. Their embryologic origin is from the branchial arches. The smallest bone is actually the stapes. The malleus attaches to the ear drum, then incus connects the malleus to the stapes which has a piston-like action on the oval window.
They are also known as the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup

∙ 10y agoThere are three auditory ossicles (little bones) in the middle chamber of each ear. They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:
- tympannic side = malleus or hammer
- middle = incus or anvil
- oval window side = stapes or stirrup

They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe stapes transfers the sound vibration to the oval window and thus into the fluid environment of the inner ear.
How many bones are in an ear?
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 hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup

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"
