2. Ossicles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossicles

   The ossicles (also called auditory ossicles) are three irregular bones in the middle ear of humans and other mammals, and are among the smallest bones in the human body. . Although the term "ossicle" literally means "tiny bone" (from Latin ossiculum) and may refer to any small bone throughout the body, it typically refers specifically to the malleus, incus and stapes ("hammer, anvil, and ...

3. Lace wig - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lace_wig

   Lace front wigs are more common and the remainder of the wig is made out of a less fragile material which is less susceptible to ripping or tearing than the lace. [7] The lace front wig allows the wearer to choose a hairline. [7] The lace is only in the front half of the wig, to allow the wearer to part the hair any way they want.

4. Stapes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stapes

   This bone is connected to the oval window by its annular ligament, which allows the footplate (or base) to transmit sound energy through the oval window into the inner ear. The stapes is the smallest and lightest bone in the human body , and is so-called because of its resemblance to a stirrup ( Latin : Stapes ).

5. Cochlea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlea

   The stapes (stirrup) ossicle bone of the middle ear transmits vibrations to the fenestra ovalis (oval window) on the outside of the cochlea, which vibrates the perilymph in the vestibular duct (upper chamber of the cochlea). The ossicles are essential for efficient coupling of sound waves into the cochlea, since the cochlea environment is a ...

6. Tympanic part of the temporal bone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanic_part_of_the...

   The tympanic part of the temporal bone is a curved plate of bone lying below the squamous part of the temporal bone, in front of the mastoid process, and surrounding the external part of the ear canal. It originates as a separate bone (tympanic bone), which in some mammals stays separate through life. Evolutionarily, a portion of it is derived ...

7. Auditory system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

   This wave information travels across the air-filled middle ear cavity via a series of delicate bones: the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup). These ossicles act as a lever, converting the lower-pressure eardrum sound vibrations into higher-pressure sound vibrations at another, smaller membrane called the oval window or ...
