Ear muscles


We just learned about Eyelid Muscles.

Can you wiggle your ears?

We all have ear muscles, but not everyone uses them.
There are two different ear muscles.

One is the auricular.
Auris means ear, and cula means little.

The other is the temporoparietalis.
tempus means time and paries means wall.
