Shell (Concha, Pl. Conchae)

Shell: Concha, Conchae (plural)

A conch is any structure that resembles a shell. In anatomy, shells can be found in various parts of the body. For example, the auricle is one of the most famous shells. The auricle is a complex form of cartilage covered with skin. It is located on the front of the head and serves to transmit sound from the outer ear to the middle ear.

At the bottom of the concha is the auditory canal, which continues into the external auditory canal. Shells can also be found in many other parts of the body, such as the chest, abdomen, legs and arms.

In addition, shells can be used as decorations, especially in cultures where they have symbolic meaning. For example, in China shells were used as amulets, and in Africa they were associated with magic and spirituality.

One of the important types of shells is the auricle, which is part of the hearing organ. It is a cup-shaped structure covered with skin from which cartilage protrudes. This structure helps enhance human hearing. In addition to the auricular shell, there are also river and sea shells, which are specific types.

The river shell is placed on the shoulders of people who like to spend time actively in nature. It appears due to regular muscle work and creates the effect of swimming along the shore.
