WHAT DOES OSSICLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ossicles

The ossicles are three bones in either middle ear that are among the smallest bones in the human body. They 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 "ossicle" literally means "tiny bone" and, though the term may refer to any small bone throughout the body, it typically refers the malleus, the incus and the stapes of the middle ear.

Definition of ossicle in the English dictionary

The definition of ossicle in the dictionary is a small bone, esp one of those in the middle ear.
