The ossicles are structures that move in response to vibrations from the eardrum. As they move, the stapes presses against the oval window of the cochlea.

Ossicles

The oval window of the cochlea receives pressure from the stapes as the ossicles move. This pressing action causes the fluid inside the cochlea to move.

Oval Window

The stapes is one of the three small bones, known as ossicles, located in the middle ear. It plays a crucial role in hearing by receiving vibrations from the other ossicles and transmitting them to the inner ear by pressing against the oval window of the cochlea.
