Surgical anatomy : a treatise on human anatomy in its application to the practice of medicine and surgery . ue. The lower endof the antihelix is divided into two parts, one of which terminates in a pointedextremity called the processus caudatus.

Bands of fibrous tissue—theso-called ligaments of the pinna—connect this structure with the cranium, andothers unite the various jiarts of the cartilage. Anteriorly a band of fibroustissue connects the spina helicis with the root of the zjgoma, and fibrous tissueattaches the concha to the mastoid process posteriorly. The intrinsic muscles of the auricle are small, rudimentary, and unimpor-tant. The extrinsic muscles have been described with the face. Blood Supply.—The arteries, with which the pinna is well supplied, arederived from the posterior auricular, occipital, and superficial temporal are accompanied by corresponding veins.
