What is the purpose of the bone in the middle ear?

Answer 1

The auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.

· tympanic side = malleus or hammer

· middle = incus or anvil

· oval window side = stapes or stirrup

Answer 2

• The auditory ossicles (little bones) are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.
• The pinna is part of the outer ear. Its function is to capture sounds.

Answer 3

The bone in the middle ear, called the stapes, serves to transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. It helps amplify and transmit these vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.

Answer 4

The tympanic membrane in the middle ear transforming sound waves into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations stimulate the inner ear.

Answer 5

You have three small bones in your middle ear called ossicles. These change sound-waves into mechanical energy and make the eardrum vibrate. They also can make the sound less by damping it.
