The leaf-sheaths auricle is identical in size to the membrane but is erect.
Pulmonates have a single auricle and kidney, and a concentrated, symmetrical, nervous system.
The auricle is united to it behind, a little on the left side.
There, it supplies the auricle, external acoustic meatus, outer side of the tympanic membrane and the skin in the temporal region (superficial temporal branches).
The sensory fossae and the auricle grooves are supplied with many nerve endings.
The first is the bicuspid valve (mitral valve) which is found between the left atrium (auricle) and the left ventricle.
The crista terminalis is generally a smooth-surfaced, thick portion of heart muscle in a crescent shape at the opening into the right auricle.
In the rare cases when no pinna is formed (atresia), or is extremely small (microtia) reconstruction of the auricle is possible.
