In the inner ear, it is one of the ossicles.
Ossicles
auditory ossicles
The sound waves enter the ear until they reach the Auditory ossicles (The middle ear) then moves into the inner ear as it vibrates the ossicles then contrast the muscles and flattens the hair of the inner ear to make a person hear.
The ossicles are the three tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations. The sense of balance occurs in the fluid environment of the inner ear.
when necessary, these bones can reduce sound intensity to the inner ear
auditory ossicles
The last of the ossicles of the middle ear is the stapes. It delivers the sound vibrations to the oval window separating the air environment of the middle ear from the fluid environment of the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, vestibule and semicircular canal.
The three auditory ossicles are bones of the middle ear.There are no bones elsewhere in the ear (none in the inner ear).tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
There is an articulation or joint between each of the three ossicles, but the final structure is the oval window which would bring the stapes/stirrup ossicle in contact with the cochlea of the inner ear.
No it doesn't. The inner ear has no bones. The three auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. They are called the malleus, incus & stapes.
If there is any type of problem or disease condition of the auditory ossicles, then a loss of hearing, commonly called conductive deafness, may occur.
