Cavum tympani

Cavum tympani (the middle ear) is built up mainly of three bones:

1) Malleus 2) Incus 3) Stapes

M. tensor tympani and M. stapedius are two musceles conected to the bones.

Malleus is connected to membrana tymapni. Sound is transmitted in this pattern:

Membrana tymapni → Malleus → Incus → Stapes → Fenestra vesitbuli
