Caldani mentions a case with the incus and malleus deficient, and Scarpa and Torreau quote instances of deficient ossicles.

This causes the incus to move through a shorter distance, but with greater force than the end of the malleus.

Such an arrangement would permit its action on the joint formed by Meckel's cartilage and the incus of the middle ear.

He is known in the history of anatomical discovery as the first who described the two tympanal bones, termed malleus and incus.

We'd seen that the auditory canals were well defined, that the tiny ossicles-themaleus, incus, and stapes-werepresent in the middle ear.

Deeper, past the secret passage of the tympanic membrane, through the drum, sit like atolls the malleus, the incus, and the stapes.

He enumerates the tunics and humours of the eye, and gives an account of the internal ear, in which he notices the malleus and incus.

The booth was plastered in band flyers and posters; Garrett's eyes flicked over unfamiliar names: Incus.
