- Sound waves reaching the tympanic membrane will initiate vibrations that are transmitted through the bony ossicles of the middle ear to the oval window.
- Internally, the mastoid is hollowed out to form the epitympanic recess to accommodate the ossicles of the middle ear.
1. 1.1 A small piece of calcified material forming part of the skeleton of an invertebrate animal such as an echinoderm.
