The stirrup – (also called the stapes) a tiny, U-shaped bone that passes vibrations from the stirrup to the cochlea. This is the smallest bone in the human body (it is 0.25 to 0.33 cm long). http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlongl… http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/bones.

Also called ossicles, the smallest bones are found in the middle ear, and are called the stapes, the incus and the malleus, which are latin for stirrup, anvil, and hammer, so named for their shapes and functions.
