Which is the smallest bone in the body?

The smallest bone in the human body is the stirrup bone, the stapes, one of the 3 bones that make up your middle ear; measuring 2-3 millimeters. It shaped like a ā€œUā€ and is the innermost bone that receives sound vibrations and passes them along to the cochlea to eventually be interpreted by the brain.
