Understanding vertebrate middle ear
... Body tissue reflects the majority of sound waves, so in order to hear, animals relay sound via the middle ear, an air-filled cavity. In mammals, sound vibrates the tympanum, and relays sound via the three chain ossicles (malleus, incus and stapes), to the basilar membrane underlying the footplate, w ...
