      the smallest bone in he body is the stapes, one of the bones in the ear that helps people hear…..it has the shape of a stirrup and with 2 other small bones is located in the middle hear…apparently it is about 3.3 mm long…. just a bit longer than the thickness of one pound coin!!! it is also the lightest one!!!
