Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ossicular system, made up of the three smallest bones in the body (the malleus, incus, and stapes), is located in the middle ear and helps to amplify the sound wave.

Answer: C, D, E
 The cochlea in the inner ear is responsible for converting sound waves into neural signals that can be interpreted by the brain. The semicircular canals in the inner ear are involved in balance and spatial orientation. The utricle and saccule in the inner ear are also involved in balance and detecting changes in head position.
