Concept
Ossicular Chain
The
ossicular chain
is a series of three
tiny bones
in the
middle ear
known as the malleus, incus, and stapes, which are crucial for transmitting
sound vibrations
from the eardrum to the
inner ear
. This chain amplifies the sound waves, facilitating
efficient hearing
by overcoming the
impedance mismatch
between air and the
fluid-filled cochlea
.
