What Is the Lobulus Auriculae?

The human earlobe (lobulus auriculae) is composed of tough areolar and adipose connective tissues, lacking the firmness and elasticity of the rest of the auricle (the external structure of the ear). In some cases the lower lobe is connected to the side of the face.

What does the ear lobule do?

Did you know that there are tens of thousands of nerve endings in your earlobe and for many people it is considered an erogenous area? The main function of the human earlobe is to help maintain balance and warm the ear. It's the most common location for a body piercing, and many cultures practice earlobe stretching.

What do detached earlobes mean?

If your earlobes are unattached, you are a free spirit—which means you yourself are a bit unattached and don't pay attention to what society expects of you. Free spirits let life take them wherever they're destined to be because they know that they'll be happy wherever they end up.
