- Utriculus
- Malpighian cells
- Malleus
- Cochlea
The correct option is C.
The malleus is the largest and outermost of the middle ear’s three ossicles. The malleus, stapes and incus are the three bony ossicles that comprise the middle ear. Sound waves are transmitted by these three ossicles, which join the eardrum to the inner ear. The malleus — the first ossicle — is attached to the tympanic membrane and moves with it.
The malleus transports the sound waves to the incus when sound hits the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The stapes bone is attached to the oval window that connects the middle ear to the inner ear.
