Substantiv

  1. (skeleton) A small stirrup-shaped bone of the middle ear.

Exempel

  • The tympanic cavity is spanned by the three smallest bones in the body: the auditory ossicles[...] These bones, named for their shape, are the malleus (malʹe-us; "hammer"); the incus (ingʹkus; "anvil"); and the stapes (staʹpēz; "stirrup"). The "handle" of the malleus is secured to the eardrum, and the base of the stapes fits into the oval window.
