Answer:

The ear canal is right next to the pinna, which is the outer ear.

The names for the Ossicle bones are called malleus, incus and stapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1: The outer ear consists of the visible portion on the side of the head, known as the pinna, and the external auditory canal (ear canal). The purpose of the pinna is to catch sound waves, amplify them slightly, and funnel them down the ear canal to the tympanic membrane (eardrum).

2: The vibration of the eardrum moves the three small bones (called ossicles) in the middle ear. Common names for the bones are the hammer, anvil and stirrup. They are also known as the malleus, incus and stapes.
