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.
- tympannic side = malleus or hammer
- middle = incus or anvil
- oval window side = stapes or stirrup
What else can I help you with?
In the ear What ossicle is in contact with the tympanic membrane?
The ossicle that is in contact with the tympanic membrane is the malleus. The malleus, also known as the hammer, is the first of the three auditory ossicles in the middle ear and is directly attached to the eardrum. It transmits sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the incus, the next ossicle in the chain.
Is the ossicle that transmits vibrations to the inner ear through the oval window?

What ias an Ossicle mean?

Where in the body would you find a hammer?
I dont know if you're referring to the hammer as in the ear. Also called the malleus. "The middle ear, an air-filled cavity behind the ear drum (tympanic membrane), includes the three ear bones or ossicles: the malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil), and stapes (or stirrup)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear
What does the third ossicle do?
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 hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe stapes transfers the sound vibration to the oval window and thus into the fluid environment of the inner ear.
What is the name of the -middle- ossicle or ear bone?
The auditory ossicle that is in the middle of the three "little bones" is called the incus or anvil. Its head is jointed to the malleus/hammer and its base is jointed with the stapes/stirrup.
