synovial joint connects the incus with the malleus.
what type of joint connects the incus with the malleus?
synovial joint
incudomalleolar joint









































incudomalleolar joint (more correctly called incudomallear joint) or articulatio incudomallearis is a small synovial joint between the malleus (hammer) and the incus (anvil). the joint's function is to transfer vibrations between the ossicles in the middle ear, which is perceived as sound. contrary to other synovial joints the movement is very limited. all of the ossicles move more or less as a unit, at least at low frequencies.

the malleus is a bone situated in the middle ear. it is the first of the three ossicles, and attached to the tympanic membrane. the "head of the malleus" is the large protruding section, which attaches to the incus. the head connects to the "neck of malleus", and the bone continues as the "handle of malleus", which connects to the tympanic membrane. between the neck and handle of the malleus, "lateral" and "anterior processes" emerge from the bone.
