In mammals, the three small bones in the middle ear—malleus, incus, and stapes—are homologous to certain bones in lizards. Specifically, the malleus is derived from the articular bone, the incus from the quadrate bone, and the stapes corresponds to the hyomandibula. These adaptations in mammals are part of a evolutionary transition that allows for enhanced sound transmission compared to the simpler ear structures found in lizards.
What else can I help you with?
Do cheetas have bones in there ears?
Yes, cheetahs have bones in their ears, just like other mammals. The ear bones help transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear where they are converted into nerve signals that the brain can interpret.
Why does an elephant have ears?

Do mice have ears?
Humans, dogs, cats, and other furry animals are mammals and obviously have ears.
Can lizards hear?
Yes, lizards can hear. They may not have external ears like mammals do, but they can detect sound vibrations through their eardrums and inner ear structures. Lizards use their hearing to communicate, detect predators, and locate prey.
Do snakes have shaped ears?
well, yeah their ears are like little holes like geckos and other lizards LOL
Are lizards reptiles?
Yes, lizards are reptiles. They belong to the class Reptilia, which also includes snakes, turtles, and crocodilians. Lizards are characterized by their scaly skin, external ears, and clawed toes.
Which Body part does not have bones?
The ears do not have bones - that is, the external structures on the sides of our heads. There are three tiny bones in each of our 'inner ears', but the outside structure is made out of cartilage, not bone.
Do human ears have bones?
Yes, human ears have three small bones called the ossicles: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These bones help transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
What type of appendage do mammals have?
Mammals have forelimbs, hind limbs and tails. Even ears can be considered appendages.
