The malleus is part of the middle ear which transmits sound. The malleus takes in the vibrations from the tympanic membrane and sends the information to the incus.

WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE EAR MALLEUS?

Sound waves cause the Tympanic Membrane (eardrum) to vibrate, which in turn causes the Malleus (hammer) to transmit those vibrations to the next tiny bone in the ear, called the Incus (anvil). The Incus, in turn, transmits those vibrations to the third small bone in the ear, called the Stapes (stirrup). The Stapes then transmits the vibrations to the membrane of the inner ear, where they can be communicated to the brain for processing and interpretation (hearing).


How does the malleus in the ear work?

The malleus, incus, and stapes are a chain of small bones in the middle ear. Sound waves hit the ear drum and together with the other bones it tends to transmit the vibrations from the ear drum to the cochlea to the brain so as to unable one to hear.

Are the malleus incus and stapes parts of the Organ of Corti?

No, the malleus, incus, and stapes are all part of the middle ear, involved in transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The Organ of Corti is located in the inner ear and is responsible for converting these vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.
