The stapes covers the oval window in the middle ear. It is part of the ossicular chain, which helps transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
The stapes is attached to the oval window, which is a membrane-covered opening in the vestibule of the inner ear. It transmits sound vibrations from the ear drum to the cochlea, where they are converted into electrical signals for the brain to process.
Immobility of the footplate of the stapes is called otosclerosis. It is a condition where abnormal bone growth in the middle ear causes the stapes bone to become fixed or immobile, leading to hearing loss. Treatment options can include surgery to replace the stapes bone or hearing aids.
Neither just know that they are both smaller than your penis
Each of the ossicles contributes to the transmission and amplication of the sound vibration from the tympanic membrane to the oval window. There is not one more important (main) than the others.tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
incus, malleus and stapes. The bone in the middle ear.

The stapes bone transfers vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window in the inner ear. This process helps to amplify and transmit sound waves through the auditory system.
stapes
I'm guessing that the stapes vibrate against the cochlea. :)
There is an articulation or joint between each of the three ossicles, but the final structure is the oval window which would bring the stapes/stirrup ossicle in contact with the cochlea of the inner ear.
The stapes or stirrup is the small bone in the middle ear.
The stapedius muscle is attached to the stapes. It is the smallest striated muscle in the human body.
STAPES
Immobility of the footplate of the stapes is called otosclerosis. It is a condition where abnormal bone growth in the middle ear causes the stapes bone to become fixed or immobile, leading to hearing loss. Treatment options can include surgery to replace the stapes bone or hearing aids.
Stapes
I am not sure what the purpose of the stapes are but i know that they are one of the innermost smaller bones in our body and they are shaped somewhat like a stirrup.
