Question

how many bones in our ear?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The ear is the organ that enables hearing in mammals.

2. In mammals, the ear is usually described as having three parts—the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.

3. They consist of 8 cranial bones, 14 facial bones, the hyoid bone, and 6 auditories (ear) bones.

4. The 8 cranial bones are the frontal, 2 parietal, occipital, 2 temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.

5. The 6 auditory ossicles (little bones) are the malleus, incus, and stapes in each ear.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Ear bone, also called the Auditory Ossicle, is any of the three tiny bones in the middle ear of all mammals.

2. These are the malleus, or hammer, the incus, or anvil, and the stapes or stirrup.

3. Hammer (malleus): attached to the eardrum.

4. Anvil (incus): in the middle of the chain of bones.

5. Stirrup (stapes): attached to the membrane-covered opening that connects the middle ear with the inner ear (oval window)
