Yes, there are three bones in the middle ear, the Hammer, Anvil, and Stirrup, which transfer sound vibration from the eardrum to the inner ear. These three bones are the smallest in the human body.
There are no bones in the external ear structure, the ear shell is shaped and supported by cartilage, not bone.

No. It is situated inside the temporal bone of the skull.
The 'is the sense organ that detects sound. The vertebrate ear shows a common biology from fish to humans, with variations in structure according to order and species. It not only acts as a receiver for sound, but plays a major role in the sense of balance and body position.

The word "ear" may be used correctly to describe the whole vertebrate ear, or just the visible portion. In most animals, the visible ear is a flap of tissue that is also called the pinna. The pinna may be all that shows of the ear, but it has only a tiny role in hearing and none at all in the sense of balance. In people, the pinna is more often called the auricle. Vertebrates have a pair of ears, each one placed symmetrically on opposite sides of the head. That arrangement aids in the ability to balance and in the ability to localize sound

Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue. It is composed of collagenous fibers and/or elastin fibers, and cells called chondrocytes, all of which are embedded in a firm gel-like ground substance called the matrix. Cartilage is avascular (contains no blood vessels) and nutrients are diffused through the matrix. Cartilage serves several functions, including providing a framework upon which bone deposition can begin and supplying smooth surfaces for the movement of articulating bones. Cartilage is found in many places in the body including the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and between intervertebral discs. There are three main types of cartilage: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage

Yes we have three bones in the ear

"The middle ear, an air-filled cavity behind the ear drum (tympanic membrane), includes the three ear bones or ossicles: the malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil), and stapes (or stirrup)."

definitely yes, infact our ear contain the smallest bone,named as STAPES. Actually our ear contain three bones MALLUS, INCUS, STAPES. but the outer region is made up of CARTILAGE.
