The 3 ossicles are "little bones" found in the middle ear. They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:

  • tympannic side = malleus or hammer
  • middle = incus or anvil
  • oval window side = stapes or stirrup

The stapes transfers the sound vibration to the oval window and thus into the fluid environment of the inner ear.

What are the 7 skull bones that can move?

I'm not sure, but isn't the skull on big bone? oh well i must be wrong. ---- No, the skull is not one big bone. The skull is made up of 22 bones, excluding the ossicles of the ear (small bones in the middle ear space which serve to transmit sound). There are 6 ossicles in total, three in each ear, and these bones are mobile. The only other skull bone that is able to move is the mandible (jaw bone). Thus, the seven bones that are able to move are: - Mandible - Left Malleus Ossicle - Right Malleus Ossicle - Left Incus Ossicle - Right Incus Ossicle - Left Stapes Ossicle - Right Stapes Ossicle. I hope this helps. Qu.mstr
