Best Answer

The smallest skeletal muscle in the body is in the ear. It is the stapedius, attached to the smallest bone in the body, the stapes. The stapedius measures 1/20th of an inch (about 1.25 mm). This muscle helps to move the bones in middle ear that form the delicate hearing apparatus, and helps protect our sensitive inner ear.
