Question

The ear ossicle of man is

• A. Malleus
• B. Incus
• C. Stapes
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The middle ear consists of three bones or ossicles:

• Malleus (hammer)
• Incus (anvil)
• Stapes (stir-up)

These bones are attached to each other in a chain-like manner. Malleus is attached to tympanic membrane whereas stapes is attached to oval window of cochlea. The efficiency of transmission of sound waves to the inner ear is increased by these ossicles.

Hence, all of the options are correct.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
