Umbo of membrane?

[edit]

Doesn't the "umbo" refer to the inferior part of the malleus? The picture seems to confirm that too.

No, the malleus is connected to the inner surface of the tympanic membrane along its long arm, beginning at the umbo.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 21:09, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
