The Appendicular Skeleton:
- Arms and legs: The human body has two arms and two legs. Each arm and leg is made up of several bones that are connected by joints, which allow movement.
- Bones in the Ears: There are three small bones in each ear. The stirrup bone is the smallest bone in the human body. It is as small as a grain of rice and is hollow. Its shape looks like a stirrup (a small loop or ring used in horse riding).
- The Femur: The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. It is located in the thigh and helps support the body's weight during standing, walking, and running.
Smallest Bone (Stirrup) and Largest Bones (Femur)
