One of the bones of the middle ear.
One of the three ossicles in the middle ear, shaped like an anvil.
One of three small bones in the middle ear (the others are the malleus and stapes); also called anvil.
A small anvil-shaped bone in the middle ear that articulates with the malleus and the stapes.
The second of the three tiny auditory bones, which form a chain that conducts vibrations through the middle ear from the tympanic membrane to the oval window of the inner ear. The incus has the shape of a bicycle saddle (the body) with its post (the long limb or lenticular process). The body articulates with the malleus, and the lenticular process articulates with the stapes. The incus is commonly known as the anvil.
The bone located in the middle of the middle ear, also referred to as the “anvil,” is scientifically known as the incus.
The incus is one of the three small, interconnected bones, or ossicles, located in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations. Its name, derived from Latin, means “anvil,” given its supposed resemblance to this tool.
The middle bone of the three small bones located in the middle ear, which captures vibrations from the eardrum and sends them to the hearing organ to be recognized as sound. Also known as the anvil.
