The stapes transmits the sound vibrations from the incus bone to the oval window of the ear.
Do you mean one of the tiny bones found inside your ear? If so, it is one of three small bones which help carry sound into your inner ear. It is the smallest bone in the human body.

∙ 10y agoThe stapes is the smallest of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. It is located next to the oval window. The stapes footplate is that part of the bone than connects with the oval window and introduces pressure waves in the middle ear.

∙ 10y agoThe stapes (aka stirrup) is the smallest of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. It is located next to the oval window. The stapes footplate makes contact with the oval window transmitting the sound vibrations into the fluid environment of the inner ear, thus stimulating the mechanoreceptors which change the "sound" into electrical energy and send it to the brain for interpretation.

What do the Malleus Incus and stapes bones do?
These are the three smallest bones in the body and they are situated in the ear. As sound waves enter the ear they vibrate the eardrum in the same pattern, the vibrations are then conducted along the ossicle chain (malleus and incus) which rocks like a bent lever and forces the footplate of the stapes to act as a piston which pushes and pulls at the flexible window of the cochlea.
Where is the stapes bone?
The stapes (aka stirrup) is the smallest of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. These "little bones" amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window. The stapes is in direct contact with the oval window.
What structure is articulated by the auditory ossicles?
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.
The oval window is found on the?
The oval window sits immediately behind the stapes, in the middle ear.
What are the 3 bone that conduct sound to the inner ear called?
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.
What does type IV tympanoplasty entail?
Type IV tympanoplasty is used for ossicular destruction, which includes all or part of the stapes arch. It involves placing a graft onto or around a mobile stapes footplate.
What do the Malleus Incus and stapes bones do?
These are the three smallest bones in the body and they are situated in the ear. As sound waves enter the ear they vibrate the eardrum in the same pattern, the vibrations are then conducted along the ossicle chain (malleus and incus) which rocks like a bent lever and forces the footplate of the stapes to act as a piston which pushes and pulls at the flexible window of the cochlea.
What job do the stapes do?
I'm guessing that the stapes vibrate against the cochlea. :)
Where is the stapes bone?
The stapes (aka stirrup) is the smallest of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. These "little bones" amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window. The stapes is in direct contact with the oval window.
The stapes are more commonly referred to as the?
The stapes or stirrup is the small bone in the middle ear.
What structure is articulated by the auditory ossicles?
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.
Muscle that is attached to stapes?
The stapedius muscle is attached to the stapes. It is the smallest striated muscle in the human body.

What is a small bone in body?
Stapes
What purpose does the stapes have?
I am not sure what the purpose of the stapes are but i know that they are one of the innermost smaller bones in our body and they are shaped somewhat like a stirrup.
