In the human body the smallest bone is in the inner ear and connects the ear drum to the cochlea which detects sound waves and converts them into your hearing. The bone is one of three and is called the stapes or stirrup bone.

The stapes, or 'stirrup' bone in the middle ear is the smallest bone in the human body.

The smallest bone in the body is called the stirrup bone. It is found inside the ear and is only 2.5mm long.

I'd guess one of the bones in the middle ear - the hammer, anvil or stirrup. If the not the smallest, at least they are very small.

The smallest bones are the ear ossicles, three bones that are found in the middle ear. They are called the stapes ("stirrup"), incus ("anvil"), and malleus ("hammer").

It will be one of the human inner ear bones and I think it's the stirrup(stapes). the other 2 of the 3 are the malleus(hammer) and incus(anvil).
Hope this helps
