Detailed explanation-1: -The oval window membrane is one of two membranes that separate the middle ear space from the inner ear. The other is the round window membrane. The Eustachian tube [7] connects the middle ear space to the upper part of the throat.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tiny stapes bone attaches to the oval window that connects the middle ear to the inner ear. The Eustachian tube, which opens into the middle ear, is responsible for equalizing the pressure between the air outside the ear and that within the middle ear.

Detailed explanation-3: -The oval window is the intersection of the middle ear with the inner ear and is directly contacted by the stapes; by the time vibrations reach the oval window, they have been reduced in amplitude and increased in force due to the lever action of the ossicle bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -The middle ear is the part of the ear past the eardrum and before the inner ear. It is separated from the inner ear by the oval window. The middle ear is also known as the tympanic cavity or tympanum.

Detailed explanation-5: -membrane-covered opening from the middle ear to the cochlea of the inner ear. Sound waves cause vibration of the tympanic membrane and the ossicles transmit those vibrations to the oval window, which leads to movement of fluid within the cochlea and activation of receptors for hearing.
