The eardrum (tympanic membrane) vibrates in response to sound waves, which in turn causes the malleus (hammer) bone to vibrate. The malleus is connected to the eardrum and transfers these vibrations to the other ossicles in the middle ear, ultimately transmitting the sound to the inner ear for processing.

What does the malleus do in the ear?

The malleus is a tiny bone in the middle ear that transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the incus (another middle ear bone). This process helps amplify and transfer sound energy to the inner ear, where it is converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.

What structure causes the malleus to vibrate?

Sound waves cause the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to vibrate, which in turn causes the malleus (hammer) to vibrate. This vibration is transmitted through the ossicles in the middle ear, ultimately leading to movement of the stapes against the oval window of the cochlea.


How does the eardrum function in an ear?

The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, vibrates in response to sound waves entering the ear canal. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear bones which amplify the sound and send it to the inner ear. This process ultimately enables the brain to interpret and perceive sound.


Where is the auditory ossicle malleus located?

The auditory osscle called the malleus/hammer is located in the middle ear:tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup


What structure picks up sound vibrations?

The malleus is the first of the three auditory ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear. The next on in line is the incus (anvil).tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
