Abstract

The malleus and incus in the mammalian middle ear are homologous to the quadrate and articular. However, there is no evidence of homology between the incus in humans and the non-mammalian quadrate, and the critical transference to become part of definitive human middle ear. Our recently researchs have demostrated that in human embryos at six to eight weeks of development, the initial anlage of the incus joined to the otic capsule and an articular interzone delimitated the incus and malleus. The disconnection process occurred between the incus and otic capsule with the formation of an interzone at nine weeks of development and a small joint cavity at thirteen weeks. These results provide sufficient evidence that the development of the human incus is not derived from Meckel´s cartilage and that the incus is homologue to the quadrate according to the Reichert-Gaupp theory.
