Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tympanic membrane is connected to the first of the ossicles, the malleus (hammer), followed by the incus (anvil)and stapes (stirrup).The ossicles further amplify the sound waves and then transfer airborne sound waves to the fluid-filled inner ear at the oval window.Along the ear canal are glands that secrete cerumen.This brown, waxlike substance coats the hairs in the canal to prevent foreign bodies from entering.The scala media is one of the tubes of the cochlea, which is in the inner ear.
