Mice, rats and bats have "microtype" ear ossicles with a large lump of bone called an orbicular apophysis. This increases their mass and moment of inertia. Microtype ears are more sensitive to sounds above 10kHz and less sensitive to sounds below 2kHz.
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.
Yes, the ossicles located in the middle ear are responsible for transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea in the inner ear.
The ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear are connected by joints.incudomalleolar joint (malleus & incus)incudostapedial joint (incus and stapes)
In the inner ear, it is one of the ossicles.
Ossicles
No, the sense of balance does not occur in the ossicles. The ossicles are the three tiny bones in the middle ear (malleus, incus, stapes) that transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear for processing sound. The sense of balance is maintained by structures in the inner ear called the vestibular system.
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.
There are three auditory ossicles in each ear: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These three tiny bones are located in the middle ear and transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
The temporal bone.
