The temporal bones, part of the cranium (skull), contain and protect the organs of hearing.
Within the ears are functional, rather than protective, bones of the middle ear. There are three of them, the Maleus, Incus and Stapes. They act to transmit vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear.

What would happen if bones did not protect your organs?
If bones did not protect your organs, the vital organs would be more susceptible to injury and damage from external forces. This could result in serious health problems, such as internal bleeding or organ failure, leading to potential fatalities. Bones play a critical role in providing structural support and protection to the organs within the body.
How many bones are there normally in your skeleton?
The human skeleton typically consists of 206 bones. These bones provide support, protect organs, and allow for movement in the body.
What do the major organs do in the skeletal system?
The major organs in the skeletal system include bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Bones provide support and structure for the body, protect vital organs, and allow for movement. Cartilage helps cushion and support joints, tendons connect muscles to bones, and ligaments connect bones to other bones to provide stability.
What organs are involved in the skeletal system?
The organs involved in the skeletal system are bones, cartilage, and joints. Bones provide structure and support to the body, protect internal organs, and aid in movement. Cartilage acts as a cushion between bones and helps with smooth joint movements. Joints are where two or more bones meet and allow for flexibility and movement.
What bones make up the axial skeleton?
The bones of the skullThe bones of the thoraxThe bones of the vertebral column
What do human bones protect?
Your bones protect your internal organs from injury.
What senses are affected by the cranial and facial bones that protect and support the sense organs?
Cranial and facial bones affect the following senses: senses of vision, taste, smell, hearing and balance. Protection of the brain is done by cranial while facial forms the mechanical framework of the face.
Do bones protect your organs?
yesYes
What organs does the clavicle protect?
The only organs that the arm bones protect are blood vessls and the lymph vessles.
Which cranial bones contain the organs of hearing and balance?
The cranial bones that contain the organs of hearing and balance are the temporal bones. Each temporal bone houses the structures of the inner ear, including the cochlea for hearing and the vestibular system for balance. These components are crucial for auditory processing and maintaining equilibrium.
Does all bones protect all internal organs?
no
What protects organ?
Bones and muscles protect organs.
The bones around your chest that protect organs such as the heart are called what?

What bones do not protect an internal organ?

If bones are supposed to protect your organs then why are they so fragile?
If bones were denser, they would be heaver, putting more strain on our bodies. They are efficient enough to protect organs in most cases. Protecting organs isn't the only function of bones. They also provide structure for your body and allow movement by giving muscles something to pull on.
