![]() ![]() ![]() The top of the ear is in the vicinity of the brow line. While no two sets of ears are the same, all – as your illustrations show – are variations on a pretty much fixed design. I have been preaching this (to deaf ears) for years. LOBULE: soft fleshy ear lobe at bottom of pinna lobules can vary a lot in size Intertragic Notch/ Ear Notch: lower space between tragus and anti-tragus.Įxternal auditory (or acoustic) Meatus/ EARHOLE: – entry to the ear canal TRAGUS: the little cartilidge ‘nob’ or bump that sticks out in front of the ear hole, across from the Anti-tragusĪnti-tragus: the little curved projection, or bump, that is directly across from the tragus ![]() I am not sure how this relates to Helix folds, which some people have on the helix, where the outer part looks folded flat. It is named after Charles Darwin because he wrote about it in “The Descent of Man.” More info: ’s_tubercle SCAPHA/ Scaphoid Fossa/ Fossa of the Helix: furrow between the helix and inner concentric ridge of the antihelix.ĭarwin’s Tubercle: Some ears (approximately 10.4% of the human population) have a small prominence or thickening, which is seen along the upper, outer part of the helix. Navicular (Triangular) Fossa/ Fossa Triangularis: triangular depression inside the the top of the ‘Y” of the Anti-helix The top of the “Y” divides into two cruses, known as the the upper crus and lower crus of the antihelix between which is the Fossa Triangularis (or Navicular Fossa)Īntihelical Fold: the space/ fold running between the Helix and the Antihelix HELIX: Outer ring/edge of the upper ear, shaped like a question-mark.ĪNTIHELIX: the Y-shaped raised part inside, contained by the helix, running from top to where it joins the antitragus. PINNA: visible outer ear – “prominent skin-covered flap located on the side of the head” with whorls and recessesĬONCHA: bowl-shaped part of ear around the ear hole that attaches to head and helps ‘cup’ sound ![]()
