anyone up feeling grateful to the long process of the incus? without it, can you imagine how much sound WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HEAR? i mean, seriously, it's all thanks to the lever advantage that we can hear at all. without the long process of the incus being shorter than the length of the manubrium of the malleus, there wouldn't be any leverage to allow for a higher pressure to be exerted to help overcome the impedance caused by the cochlea's fluids. seriously, thank your incudes for me.
