Detailed explanation-1: -Holding hair cells that enable hearing. The correct answer is D. (Transmitting sound waves to the cochlea). Hammer, anvil, and stirrup are small bones located in the middle ear which transmit sound from the ear drum to the cochlea.
Detailed explanation-2: -The middle ear is an air-filled cavity. Vibrations from the eardrum are transmitted through the ossicles (a chain of tiny bones in the middle ear) to the hearing organ. The ossicles are named the malleus, incus and stapes (also known as the hammer, anvil and stirrup due to their shapes).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Middle Ear The vibrations from the eardrum set the ossicles into motion. The ossicles are actually tiny bones-the smallest in the human body. The three bones are named after their shapes: the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup). The ossicles further amplify the sound.
Detailed explanation-4: -The job of these three is to transmit sound from the eardrum to the cochlea and amplify the sound to the inner ear.
Detailed explanation-5: -The hammer, anvil, and stirrup transmit sound waves from the ear drum, to the inner ear.
