Where are the malleus attached at a opposite end

1.	Where are the malleus attached at a opposite end
Answer» The\xa0malleus\xa0or hammer is a hammer-shaped small bone or ossicle of the middle ear which connects with the incus and is\xa0attached to\xa0the inner surface of the eardrum. The word is Latin for hammer or mallet. It transmits the sound vibrations from the eardrum to the incus. First, sound waves enter the external acoustic meatus, or ear canal, and vibrate the tympanic membrane that is located at the end of this canal. On the opposite side of the tympanic membrane, the medial side, the malleus is attached with its handle. This is where a series of movements of the auditory ossicles begins.
