hallócsontláncot

The hallócsontláncot, meaning "ossicle chain" in Hungarian, refers to the three small bones in the middle ear: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These bones form a crucial mechanical bridge that transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the oval window of the cochlea, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. The malleus, also known as the hammer, is attached to the eardrum. The incus, or anvil, connects the malleus to the stapes. The stapes, or stirrup, is the smallest bone in the human body and inserts into the oval window. This intricate system amplifies the pressure of the sound waves, allowing us to hear even faint sounds. Any disruption to the normal function or structure of the hallócsontláncot can lead to conductive hearing loss.
