The Health Trivia Questionthis month was" What are the largest and smallest bones in the human boday?

Two students ansered correctly.  Nifemi Fenwa, Room 6 and Sydney Palma Room 7. 
In the middle part of your ear is a tiny bone called the stirrup.  It is only 0.12 inches long and weighs about 0.0001 ounce.  The largest bone is the thigh bone (femur).  It is also the strongest bone.  A man who is 6 feet tall will have a femur that is 1 1/2 feet long.
