Best Answer

The auditory ossicles are three "little bones" found in the middle chamber of each ear. They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:

  • tympannic side = malleus or hammer
  • middle = incus or anvil
  • oval window side = stapes or stirrup

The malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil), and stapes (or stirrup). The bone in myour ear is called a hammer a or even better word is mallues.incue or even in another word would be anvil and finnaly the last one is stapes which in another word is stirrup. Thank you.

The 3 auditory (hearing) ossicles are "little bones" found in the middle ear. They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:

  • tympannic side = malleus or hammer
  • middle = incus or anvil
  • oval window side = stapes or stirrup
Mammals have three bones in each ear, and more primitive animals have two. So it is one part of the definition of a mammal.

You hammer (malieus), anvil (incus) and your stirrup (stapes). They are tiny bones held in place by tiny ligaments. They amplify 20x the vibrations of the tympanic membrane and transmits the middle ear.

Ossicles are the three smallest bones in the human body. They are located within the middle ear space and their job is to transmit sounds from the air to the cochlea (which is the auditory portion of your ear)

The 3 ossicles are "little bones" found in the middle ear. They are the smallest bones in the human body. As far as bone TYPE, they are considered "short" bones.
