auricle
External ear structure
The auricle is the external part of the ear—the visible, curved cartilage that funnels sound into the ear canal.
In anatomy, auricle also refers to the ear-shaped upper chambers of the heart, more commonly called atria: The right auricle receives blood from the body.
The adjective is auricular.
