Answer:

Stapedius is the smallest muscle of the human body, measuring approximately 6 millimeters in length. It is located in the tympanic cavity in the middle ear, connecting the pyramidal eminence of petrous part of temporal bone to the posterior aspect of the neck of stapes.

Stapedius muscle is innervated by the stapedial branch of facial nerve. These autonomic fibers enable the muscle to be involved in the auditory middle ear reflex, having a crucial role in protecting the auditory system from damage.
