Ear Appendages

Ear appendages

The ear appendages are structures that connect to the ear canal and are located next to the ear. They perform an important function necessary for the functioning of the hearing organ. Although many people think they have no ear appendages, they actually have a small number of ear appendages behind the earlobe. However, some people may have more of them or be abnormal. Here is general information about auricular oblate bodies.

Peculiarities

The main functions of the ear appendages are the following:

1. Noise Sensing: The appendages help in detecting high frequency sounds that normally pass by the middle ear and vestibule. This allows for auditory perception. It is important to know that both human and other animals (including birds) have this mechanism. 2. Motor Coordination: In humans, they also help recognize speech sounds by helping to correlate those sounds with the mouth movement of the person speaking. 3. Removal of secretion:
