What is the function of the bones in the ear?

Answer 1

The three auditory ossicles transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.

• Malleus (also called hammer): one end is attached to ear drum while other is jointed to the incus.
• Incus (anvil): jointed with malleus and stapes.
• Stapes (stirrup): jointed to incus and attached to oval window .

Answer 2

The three auditory ossicles (little bones of the ear) are:

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

Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.

Answer 3

When sound waves hit your ear drum they cause it to vibrate at different frequencies according to the sound behind the ear drum are tiny bones called ossicles which pick up vibrations from the ear drum and send them into the cochlea which is a hollow shell-shaoed bone filled with fluid and tiny hairs these then vibrate at different frequencies which are picked up but the auditory nerve which sends the signals to the brain.

There are three parts to the ossicles the hammer which vibrates and is next too the ear drum and hits the anvil which is next to it and the stirrup which is stirrup shaped unsurprisingly and hits the cochlea.

Answer 4

The three auditory ossicles (little bones of the ear) are:

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

Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.

Answer 5

You have three tiny bones in your middle ear. Their function is to amplify the sound waves.

Answer 6

These three bones are located in the middle ear.

Answer 7

it is to make stronger vibrations
