Definition of stapes in English:

stapes

noun ˈsteɪpiːzˈsteɪpiz
Anatomy
  • A small stirrup-shaped bone in the middle ear, transmitting vibrations from the incus to the inner ear.

    〔剖〕镫骨。亦称STIRRUP

    Also called stirrup
    Example sentencesExamples
    • Urbantschitsch has provided detailed measurements of the malleus, incus and the stapes.
    • Remnants of the pectoral girdle are present, perhaps due to the presence of an operculum-opercularis-like connection to the stapes.
    • Mr Bell removed the stapes, and attached to the end of the incus a style of hay about an inch in length.
    • Mammals hear sounds after they are transmitted from the outside world to their inner ears by a chain of three bones, the malleus, incus, and stapes.
    • Sound is conducted through the middle ear via the stapes or columella (both are ear ossicles derived from the hyomandibular).
    • The air pressure on either side of the eardrum is normally kept equal for proper functioning of the middle ear structures, namely the malleus, incus and stapes bones.
    • A perilymph fistula will frequently accompany injuries to the stapes such as subluxation or fracture.
    • The left stapes is preserved, although not in life position.
    • Even with these changes, we still have concerns that the position and extent of the stapes is inconsistent between the two views of Ichthyostega.
    • The left stapes is preserved within the left otic aperture.
    • The stapes has neither a columella nor a stapedial foramen.
    • It remains unclear, however, how the stapes related to the quadrate, and possibly to the posterior extension of its mandibular condyle, in Haasiophis.
    • This in turn moves the ‘anvil’ which is attached to the stapes.
    • It has commonly been inferred that the stapes (or ‘stirrup’), a bone in the cheek region of early tetrapods, was important for transmitting airborne vibrations to the inner ear.
    • That bone turned out to be the stapes, which transmitted vibrations to the animal's inner ear.
    • They suggested that vibrations pass from the substrate to the jaw, which are juxtaposed, and then pass via the jaw articulation to the incus and stapes.
    • Reptiles have a single ear ossicle, the stapes or stirrup bone.
    • Only in mammals are there three ossicles: the maleus, incus, and stapes.
    • The remainder underwent Type III tympanoplasty with the tympanic membrane placed directly over the stapes suprastructure.
    • There is no ‘tactile sense’, but the benefit is that there is no instrument to obscure the surgeon's view or cause mechanical trauma to the stapes.

Origin

Mid 17th century: modern Latin, from medieval Latin stapes 'stirrup'.
