17.4 Sound and Hearing
... Middle Ear The middle ear contains three tiny bones—the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. The three bones act as a lever system to amplify the motion of the eardrum. • When the eardrum vibrates, the hammer vibrates at the same frequency. • The hammer strikes the anvil. • The anvil moves the stirru ...

Auditory system
The auditory system is the sensory system for the sense of hearing. It includes both the sensory organs (the ears) and the auditory parts of the sensory system.
