Bigger (proportional real size) and full redraw (more realistic) of the auricle. Ossicles in white colour. Eardrum with contour. Added 3 labels. Add fundus to the bone and subcutaneous tissues, add superior auricular muscle, add transparency to middle ear, add separation between middle and inner ear, add division to internal auditory canal.

The outer ear, external ear, or auris externa is the external part of the ear, which consists of the auricle (also pinna) and the ear canal. [1] It gathers sound energy and focuses it on the eardrum ( tympanic membrane ).
The outer ear is the external portion of the ear and includes the fleshy visible auricle, the ear canal, and the outer layer of the eardrum (also called the tympanic membrane). [2] [3] The auricle consists of the curving outer rim called the helix, the inner curved rim called the antihelix, and opens into the ear canal.
These portions of the ear are supplied by the cervical plexus and a small portion by the facial nerve. This explains why vesicles are classically seen on the auricle in herpes infections of the facial nerve (Ramsay Hunt syndrome type II). [1] The auricle's functions are to collect sound and transform it into directional and other information.

In humans, it is a small tubercle on the visible part of the ear, the auricle. The antitragus is located just above the earlobe and points anteriorly. It is separated from the tragus by the intertragic notch. The antitragicus muscle, an intrinsic muscle of the ear, arises from the outer part of the antitragus. [1] [2]
