Detailed explanation-1: -The stapes is the body’s smallest bone! Sometimes called the stirrup, this delicate bone works with two others in the ear to send sound vibrations into the inner ear.

Detailed explanation-2: -The middle ear contains three tiny bones: Hammer (malleus)-attached to the eardrum. Anvil (incus)-in the middle of the chain of bones. Stirrup (stapes)-attached to the membrane-covered opening that connects the middle ear with the inner ear (oval window)

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the 3 smallest bones in your body?

Detailed explanation-4: -The innermost bone is the stapes, or “stirrup bone.” It rests against the oval window of the inner ear. The stapes is homologous with the entire stapedial structure of reptiles, which in turn was derived from the hyomandibular arch of primitive vertebrates. The incus, or “anvil, ” articulates with the stapes.…
