The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to identify the bones in the middle ear that correspond to the descriptions provided. 1. **Identify the bones in the middle ear**: The middle ear contains three small bones known as the ossicles. These bones are the malleus, incus, and stapes. 2. **Determine the shape of each bone**: - The **malleus** is known as the hammer-shaped bone. - The **stapes** is known as the stirrup-shaped bone. 3. **Fill in the blanks**: Based on the shapes identified: - The first blank (hammer-shaped) will be filled with **malleus**. - The second blank (stirrup-like) will be filled with **stapes**. Thus, the final answer is: **Malleus is hammer shaped while Stapes is stirrup-like bone in middle ear.**

Collective term for the three bones that make up the middle ear

With reference to the human ear, answer the questions that follow : Name the three small bones present in the middle ear. What is the biological term for them collectively?

Number of middle ear bones in mammals is

Find out the correct order of number of bones in the parts of skull such as cranial bones, facial bone, hyoid bone and middle ear bonds respectively

From outer to inner side, the sequence of three bones present in the middle ear of mammals is

When a sound wave enters the ear, it sets the eardrum into oscillation, which in turn causes oscillation of 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called ossicles. This oscillation is finally transmitted to the fluid filled in inner portion of the ear termed as inner ear, the motion of the fluid disturbs hair cells within the inner ear which transmit nerve impulses to the brain with the information that a sound is present. The theree bones present in the middle ear are named as hammer, anvil and stirrup. Out of these the stirrup is the smallest one and this only connects the middle ear to inner ear as shown in the figure below. The area of stirrup and its extent of connection with the inner ear limits the sensitivity of the human ear consider a person's ear whose moving part of the eardrum has an area of about 50mm^2 and the area of stirrup is about 5mm^2 . The mass of ossicles is negligible. As a result, force exerted by sound wave in air on eardum and ossicles is same as the force exerted by ossicles on the inner ear. Consider a sound wave having maximum pressure fluctuation of 4xx10^-2Pa from its normal equilibrium pressure value which is equal to 10^5Pa . Frequency of sound wave in air is 332(m)/(s) . Velocity of sound wave in fluid (present in inner ear) is 1500(m)/(s) . Bulk modulus of air is 1.42xx10^5Pa . Bulk modulus of fluid is 2.18xx10^9Pa . Q. If the person is using an hearing aid, which increase the sound intensity level by 30 dB, then by what factor the intensity of given sound wave change as perceived by inner ear?
