Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bones of the middle ear, also known as the ossicles, consist of the malleus, incus, and stapes. They are located between the eardrum and the oval window of the inner ear. When sound waves reach the eardrum, it vibrates and causes the ossicles to move, which in turn amplifies the sound waves and transmits them to the oval window. Therefore, the correct answer is A) eardrum; oval window.
