The umbo is the part of the TM where the malleus is attached.

MALLEUS
malleus
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 stirrup
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.
The vibrations received by the tympanic membrane are transferred to the oval window by the three auditory ossicles: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These ossicles amplify and transmit the sound waves from the eardrum to the inner ear for processing.
The pathway of vibrations starts with the tympanic membrane vibrating in response to sound waves, which then causes the malleus, incus, and stapes (ossicles) to move. The malleus is connected to the tympanic membrane and transfers the vibrations to the incus. The incus then passes the vibrations to the stapes, which ultimately transmits the sound vibrations to the oval window of the cochlea.
The ossicles, which are the three smallest bones in the human body located in the middle ear, are smaller than the tympanic membrane. These bones are named the malleus, incus, and stapes, and they play a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
The malleus, incus and stapes are the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear, which is also called the tympanic cavity. Their job is to amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
It's called the tympanic membrane, or eardrum.The eardrum.
The tympanic membrane or "eardrum" receives vibrations traveling up the auditory canal and transfers them through the tiny ossicles to the oval window. Middle ear consists of: Tympanic membrane : receives vibrations and transfers them to the malleus. 3 bones: Hammer anvil and stirrup. Dr. Shaharyar Salim Khan
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.
