Theoval window is a membrane-covered opening that leads from the middle ear to the vestibule of the inner ear.
The fenestra ovalis connects the tiny bones of the middle ear to the scala vestibuli, which is the upper part of the cochlea.
The middle ear functions to transmit the motion of the eardrum (or tympanic membrane) to the inner ear.This increases the pressure on the connective tissue of the oval window. This pressure is ultimately transmitted through the stapes, which presses against the fenestra ovalis, to the cochlea. From there, it travels through the auditory nerve to the brain, which processes the sound.
