Smallest Bone


One may think smallest bone of human body is the little finger of the hand, but it’s not.


The smallest bone is the stapes or stirrup in the middle ear. It is smaller than a grain of rice.



It is one of the three tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles - the others are the malleus or hammer and the incus or anvil.
