Anthelix
The antihelix (synonyms Ohrwulst , Bogenwulst , anthelix auriculae ; English anti helix ) is an arcuately from below upwardly extending covered with skin protrusion of the ear cartilage at the front of the auricle . It runs parallel to the edge of the auricle ( helix ). At the top, it branches into a rear limb (Crus superius anthelicis) and an anterior limb (Crus inferius anthelicis). Between the two legs there is a triangular depression on the anterior side of the auricle, the triangular fossa . Forward toward the ear canal, there is a recess of the auricle, the ear canal in front of the input cavum conchae and the upper end Cymba conchae is called. Between the two depressions there is an almost horizontal, small protrusion, the crus helicis . The depression behind the anthelix is called the scapha (see also anatomy of the auricle).
