Describe the parts of the middle ear and how they work together.
What will be an ideal response?
The middle ear consists of three small bones called ossicles that transmit sound to the inner ear. When the tympanic membrane of the outer ear vibrates, it sets these three bones into motion. This motion amplifies sound waves. The tympanic membrane's movement causes the first ossicle (malleus) to vibrate. The vibrating malleus causes the next ossicle (incus) to move. The motion of the incus causes the last ossicle (stapes) to move. The stapes then pushes against the oval window of the cochlea, and sound moves into the inner ear.
