Which of the following is not one of the ossicles in the human ear?
A
Stapes
B
Cochlea
C
Malleus
D
Incus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the ossicles are small bones located in the middle ear, which play a crucial role in the process of hearing by transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
Identify the three ossicles in the human ear: the Malleus, Incus, and Stapes. These bones are collectively known as the auditory ossicles.
Recognize that the Cochlea is not an ossicle. Instead, it is a spiral-shaped, fluid-filled structure in the inner ear responsible for converting sound vibrations into neural signals.
Compare the list of options provided: Stapes, Cochlea, Malleus, and Incus, with the known ossicles: Malleus, Incus, and Stapes.
Determine that the Cochlea is the option that does not belong to the group of ossicles, as it is part of the inner ear rather than the middle ear.
