the curved outer rim or outer part of the external ear
The helix, located on the outer part of the ear, is a prominent curved ridge that runs along the edge. It is formed by the folding and curving of the cartilage, giving the ear its distinctive shape. The helix serves as a protective barrier for the ear canal, helping to funnel sound into the ear and enhance the perception of sound waves. It also contributes to the overall structural integrity of the ear, allowing for flexibility and movement.
