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.


What is the name of the ear ossicle called the hammer?

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 hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe first ossicle would be the malleus or hammer/mallet.


What is the difference between the auditory ossicle and auditory canal?

The auditory canal:Located in the outer earWhere you would find ear waxEnds with the tympanic membraneThe auditory ossicle: Located in the middle earThere are three "little bones" (malleus, incus, stapes)Amplifies & transmits sound vibrations from tympanic membrane to oval window

How many bones in Auditory Ossicles?

There are three auditory ossicles in each ear: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These three tiny bones are located in the middle ear and transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
