Bonelike Ossicles - Magnified 20 Times Life Size - 3B Smart Anatomy

Discover enlarged models of the auditory ossicles to understand how they transmit sound and protect the inner ear, as well as how otosclerosis can lead to hearing loss, with this 3B Scientific Bonelike Ossicles - Magnified 20 Times Life Size Model!

Features:

• The three smallest bones that are joined to each other in the human body, located in the middle ear, are referred to as the auditory ossicles:
  • Malleus (hammer)
  • Incus (anvil)
  • Stapes (stirrup)
• Their primary functions:
  • Transmit incoming sound from the eardrum to the inner ear via the vestibular window
  • Mechanically amplify sound
• Protection of the inner ear:
  • A reflex triggers muscle movement (stapedius muscle) to tilt the stapes, allowing only partial sound transmission to prevent lasting harm from loud noises
  • If the auditory ossicles are shaken too vigorously (e.g., during a sneeze or a cough), another muscle (tensor timpani) provides protection by sticking to the hammer and tightening the eardrum
• Otosclerosis: A typical condition that affects the auditory ossicles, causing them to stiffen, leading to increasing loss of hearing
• Model visualization: A cast and enlargement of the original ossicles, created using micro CT, is available for viewing
