Definition:The soft lower part of the external ear, projecting below the antitragus.
Comment:[structure-note] "The earlobe is composed of tough areolar and adipose (fatty) connective tissues, lacking the firmness and elasticity of the rest of the pinna. Since the earlobe does not contain cartilage the earlobe has a large blood supply and may help to warm the ears and maintain balance but generally earlobes are not considered to have any major biological function." xsd:string {source="WP,unvetted"}
Synonyms:exact_synonym: auricular lobule;   ear lobe;   earlobe;   lobe of ear;   lobule of auricle of ear;   lobulus auriculae;   pinna lobule
