Nerve to stapedius, which then supplies motor fibres to stapedius muscle of the middle ear.
镫骨肌神经,为中耳镫骨肌提供运动纤维。
Osmosis-神经
In the ear, it innervates the stapedius muscle which dampens the vibration of the stapes, a small bone that help transmit vibrations from the eardrum; this protects you from loud noises.
Others may be less so, like the buccinator, a muscle that attaches your cheek to your teeth, or the body's tiniest skeletal muscle, a one-millimeter-long tissue fragment called the stapedius that's nestled deep inside the ear.
The stapedius is the smallest skeletal muscle in the human body. At just over one millimeter in length, its purpose is to stabilize the smallest bone in the body, the stapes.
