Did you know the smallest bones in the human body are found in your ear.

The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes, which is located in the middle ear. It is about the size of a pea and is shaped like a stirrup. The stapes helps to transmit sound waves from the eardrum to the inner ear.

The other two bones in the middle ear are the malleus and the incus. The malleus is the largest of the three bones and is attached to the eardrum. The incus is in the middle of the chain of bones and articulates with the stapes.
