Cymba
Cymba is a term used in anatomy to describe a specific part of the ear. It refers to the upper part of the concha, which is the hollow next to the ear canal.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The ear is divided into three main parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The cymba is part of the outer ear, specifically within the pinna or auricle. The pinna is the visible part of the ear that resides outside the head. The cymba is located above the cavum conchae and below the antihelix.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of the cymba and the outer ear is to collect and direct sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum. This helps in the process of hearing by amplifying and funneling sound waves.
