Muscle, Auricular Superior (M. Auricularis Superior, Pna, Bna)

M.auricularis-superior belongs to the extraocular muscles and consists of two muscles: the superior and inferior external auditory muscles. They both form the orbicularis anticutaneous muscle, which is located around the ear and covers the duct for earwax. This muscle is located on the back surface of the outer ear. It contracts when the earlobe contracts and the ear canal closes.
