Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Stapedes

👉 The term "stapedes" is a medical term that refers to the process of producing mucus in the ear canal. This mucus helps to keep the ear moist and prevents it from drying out. It also contains bacteria, which can help to fight infections in the ear. In addition, the stapes (which are small bones that form the inner ear) contain hair cells that produce a type of sound waves called ossicles, which travel through the ear canal to the outer ear.
