auditory ossicle bone in dogs

One of 3 small bones contained within the middle ear space and serve to transmit sounds from the air to the fluid-filled labyrinth. The absence of the auditory ossicles would constitute a moderate-to-severe hearing loss. The term 'ossicles' literally means 'tiny bones' and commonly refers to the auditory ossicles, though the term may refer to any small bone throughout the body. [WP,unvetted]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the auditory ossicle bone is

One of 3 small bones contained within the middle ear space and serve to transmit sounds from the air to the fluid-filled labyrinth. The absence of the auditory ossicles would constitute a moderate-to-severe hearing loss. The term 'ossicles' literally means 'tiny bones' and commonly refers to the auditory ossicles, though the term may refer to any small bone throughout the body. [WP,unvetted]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the auditory ossicle bone is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal and sensory systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the auditory ossicle bone connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, anatomical system and middle ear, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the auditory ossicle bone. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as ossicle, auditory bone, middle ear ossicle, auditory ossicle, ear bone and ear ossicle, and 5 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the auditory ossicle bone the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
