What Is the Erler-Zimmer Auditory Ossicles Model Set?
The Erler-Zimmer Ear Ossicles Model Set provides a representation of the small bones from the middle ear which consist of: the malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil) and stapes (or stirrup). In a life-size scale, students can remove each ossicle from the supplied petri dish for study and observation.
What Is the Function of Ear Ossicles?
Ossicles are the smallest bones in the human body. These bones connect to the tympanic membrane to the inner ear, allowing for the transmission of sound waves.
How Big Are These Ossicles?
For the most realistic of study, these ossicles have been constructed to a life-size scale. Each bone is able to fit into an area no larger than an orange seed, and is made of material that feels life-like for an enhanced study.
Petri Dish for Safe Storage
As these ossicles are small enough to fit on a fingernail, they are at risk of getting lost. However, the ossicles in this set come in a custom made foam insert petri dish, which will keep them safe when not being used for study.
