Where would you find three tiny bones called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup?

  • Correct Answer: middle ear
  • tail bone
  • foot
  • neck

Explanation: The middle ear contains three tiny bones (ossicles) called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. If you look at these bones in the Figure above , you might notice that they resemble the objects for which they are named. The three bones transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The arrangement of the three bones allows them to work together as a lever that increases the amplitude of the waves as they pass to the inner ear.
