What are the 3 bone that conduct sound to the inner ear called?

Answer 1

The three bones that transmit sound and are found in the middle ear are called, as a group, the auditory ossicles. The scientific names for the individual bones are the malleus, the incus, and the stapes or stapedius. The common names are the anvil, hammer and stirrup.

Answer 2

The three bones in the middle ear, the malleus (hammer), the incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup), collectively called the "ossicles," transmit the sound waves. the soundwaves make the tympanic membrane vibrate. These vibrations make the ossicles move. The bottom (footplate) of the stapes rests on the "oval window" which transmits the vibrations to the basilar membrane --> organ of Corti --> sensory cells. The sensory cells in turn transmit impulses to the nerves which then transmit the impulses to the brain. The brain then interprets these as sound.

Answer 3

The ear has three chambers: outer, middle and inner.

The 3 ossicles are "little bones" found in the middle 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

The ossicles pick up the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and amplify them while they are transmitted to the oval window and ultimatly into the inner ear.

Answer 4

In what is called the Middle Ear, the three bones are called malleus, stapes, and incus.
