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.

What is another name for three small bones?

The body's smallest bones are not located in the legs or arms but in the middle ear. These bones are called the ossicles, which include the malleus, incus, and stapes. They play a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
Sound wave vibrations are transmitted by three tiny bones located in the?
middle ear: the ossicles. These bones are called the hammer (malleus), anvil (incus), and stirrup (stapes). They amplify and transfer sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
