AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The middle ear contains three tiny bones: Hammer (malleus )-attached to the eardrum. Anvil (incus )-in the middle of the chain of bones. Stirrup (stapes)-attached to the membrane-covered opening that connects the middle ear with the inner ear (oval window)

Detailed explanation-2: -The middle ear includes three small bones-the hammer (malleus), anvil (incus) and stirrup (stapes). The middle ear is separated from your external ear by the eardrum and connected to the back of your nose and throat by a narrow passageway called the eustachian tube.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three bones present in the middle ear-malleus, incus and stapes. The function of these bones is to amplify the vibrations that reach the middle ear and send them to the inner ear.

Detailed explanation-4: -The middle ear consists of the tympanic membrane and the bony ossicles called the malleus, incus, and stapes. These three ossicles connect the tympanic membrane to the inner ear allowing for the transmission of sound waves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Modern mammals are unique among vertebrates for possessing three tiny bones in the middle ear. The malleus, incus and stapes (commonly known as the hammer, anvil and stirrup) work as part of a chain that transmits sound towards the skull.
