In the lower part of the helix, the cartilage is prolonged downward as a tail-like process, the cauda helicis; this is separated from the antihelix by a fissure, the fissura antitragohelicina. References
The antitragicus is an intrinsic muscle of the outer ear. In human anatomy, the antitragicus arises from the outer part of the antitragus, and is inserted into the cauda helicis (or tail of the helix) and antihelix. [1] [2] The function of the muscle is to adjusts the shape of the ear by
A long incision is made on the back of the ear and a strip of skin is removed. Through an incision in the cartilage in the cauda helicis (lower end of the ear cartilage) or in the scapha the skin, together with the perichondrium is raised on the anterior surface of the antihelix. A rasp is inserted in the resulting skin-perichondrium tunnel to ...
Otoplasty: The cranial surface cartilage of the right ear; the ponticulus (center right) and the cauda helicis (right) also can be proximate causes of prominent ears. The soft tissues of the right ear: the three muscles that serve the auricle (external ear) the auricularis posterior (left), the auricularis superior (above), and the auricularis ...
The helicis minor is an oblique fasciculus, covering the crus helicis. The tragicus is a short, flattened vertical band on the lateral surface of the tragus. Also known as the mini lobe. The antitragicus arises from the outer part of the antitragus, and is inserted into the cauda helicis and antihelix.
helicis major: head, ear, auricular, intrinsic (left/right) Spina helicis: Anterior border of the helix: Auricular branches of posterior auricular and auricular branch of occipital arteries: Facial nerve: depresses the anterior margin of the ear cartilage ? 2 1 helicis minor: head, ear, auricular, intrinsic (left/right) Base of the helical crus
Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis (CNCH) is a small, nodular, tender, chronic inflammatory lesion occurring on the helix of the ear, most often in men. [2]: 610 it often presents as a benign painful erythematous nodule fixed to the cartilage of the helix or antihelix of the external ear. [3]
Auricular sulcus is the depression behind the ear next to the head; Concha is the hollow next to the ear canal; Conchal angle is the angle that the back of the concha makes with the side of the head; Crus of the helix is just above the tragus; Cymba conchae is the narrowest end of the concha; External auditory meatus is the ear canal
