What is the smallest human bone?
The smallest bone found in the human body is the stirrup bone, also called the stapes.
The stirrup bone is found in your ear, is shaped like a 'U', and it's purpose in life is to pass vibrations from the anvil to cochlea.
In a full grown adult it reaches a deafening 0.25 to 0.33 cm long.
