Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) are the three small bones of the middle ear that transmit vibrations from the eardrum (labeled A) to the oval window, which leads to the inner ear. The eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat and helps regulate air pressure, but does not transmit vibrations. The semicircular canals are part of the inner ear and help with balance and spatial orientation. The round window is another opening leading to the inner ear but is not involved in transmitting vibrations.
