AB  - The  external  ear  is  made  up  of  the  pinna  or  auricle,  and  the  auditory  canal,  or  meatus.  The  pinna  serves  to  collect  the  sound  waves  that  travel  through  the  air,  and  the  meatus  guides  these  vibrations  to  the  middle  ear.  The  concave  outer  surface  of  the  pinna  consists  of  a  series  of  depressions  and  convexities  that  result  from  the  folding  of  its  fibrocartilaginous  structure.  Specifically,  the  lobule  (commonly  known  as  the  ear  lobe),  located  below  the  antitragus,  is  composed  of  tough  areolar  and  adipose  tissue,  and  lacks  the  developed  structure  of  the  rest  of  the  pinna1Fig.  23-1.
