the stapes is the third bone of the three ossicles in the middle ear. the stapes is a stirrup-shaped bone, and the smallest in the human body. it rests on the oval window, to which it is connected by an annular ligament. the stapes is described as having a base, resting on the oval window, as well as a head that articulates with the incus. these are connected by anterior and posterior limbs (). the stapes articulates with the incus through the incudostapedial joint. the stapes is the smallest bone in the human body, and measures roughly 3 x 2.5mm, greater along the head-base span.

trapezoid bone









































the trapezoid bone (lesser multangular bone) is a carpal bone in tetrapods, including humans. it is the smallest bone in the distal row of carpal bones that give structure to the palm of the hand. it may be known by its wedge-shaped form, the broad end of the wedge constituting the dorsal, the narrow end the palmar surface; and by its having four articular facets touching each other, and separated by sharp edges. it is homologous with the "second distal carpal" of reptiles and amphibians.
