Question

Draw a diagram to show the arrangement of the bones inside the middle ear

Answer 1

Dear Student,

● Auditory ossicles -

• Middle ear consists of three small bones called ossicles - malleus, incus and stapes.
• They are joined together in chain which helps in amplification of sound.
• Malleus is attached to eardrum, incus articulates with stapes, footplate of stapes is at oval window.
• They transmit sound from air to cochlea.

[Refer to the image for well labelled diagram of ossicles.]

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
