Fenestra ovalis

The fenestra ovalis or oval window is a membrane-covered opening which leads from the middle ear to the vestibule of the inner ear.

Vibrations arriving at the eardrum are transmitted via the interacting ossicles from the middle ear through the membrane of the fenestra ovalis to the inner ear.
