Although the experts don't agree on how many muscles there are in the human body, they do agree that the smallest muscle is the stapedius. Located in the middle ear, the stapedius is a mere 1.27 millimetres long. And what does such a miniscule muscle do? It controls the tiniest bone in the body, the stapes or stirrup bone. The stapes and two other bones conduct sound vibrations through the middle ear.
A twitch contraction is a single, brief contraction of a muscle fiber in response to a stimulus. It is the smallest unit of muscle contraction and is not strong enough to produce movement of a limb.
The smallest cranial nerve is the trochlear nerve (CN IV). It is responsible for controlling the superior oblique muscle of the eye, which helps with downward and inward eye movement.
The five levels of organization in the body from smallest to largest are cells (e.g., muscle cell), tissues (e.g., muscle tissue), organs (e.g., heart), organ systems (e.g., cardiovascular system), and the whole organism (e.g., human).
No, the human eye is an organ. However, each eye has six muscles that control its movements: the lateral rectus, the medial rectus, the inferior rectus, the superior rectus, the inferior oblique, and the superior oblique.
A twitch is a single contraction-relaxation cycle of a muscle fiber in response to a single action potential. It is the smallest unit of muscle contraction and can be summed together to produce larger muscle contractions.
The organization of a skeletal muscle from smallest to largest is as follows: myofilaments > myofibrils > muscle fiber > fascicle > muscle

the stapedius muscle inside the ear
I think its's the scalene muscle
The stapedius muscle is attached to the stapes. It is the smallest striated muscle in the human body.

Sarcomere
smallest to largest muscle
The plantaris is the smallest muscle in the human leg. It is used to flex the knee joint and is absent in about 7 percent of the human population.
sarcomere
the smallest muscle is the stapedius inside the ear . the biggest muscles are the external obliques which run from the middle of the back and around the stomach.
