Justa Mwangi answered on 16 Jul 2025:
The longest bone in the human body is the femur (thigh bone), while the shortest is the stapes (also known as the stirrup bone) in the middle ear. The femur is located in the upper leg and runs from the hip to the knee. The stapes, one of three ossicles in the middle ear, is a tiny bone involved in hearing.
