lobule

Definitions

Examples

• Some children will rub the lobule of the ear, others will suck their fingers, or will stimulate their mouths in other ways.

• The third premolar is very large, and agrees with its upper one, excepting the lobule on the inner border.

• The lobule should be shapely, not adherent, not too pendulous and free from grooves extending from the scaphoid fossa.

• The anti-helix may be unduly prominent or be insignificant; the scaphoid fossa may extend through the lobule or be triple.

• The lobule may be adherent and sometimes almost absent, thus producing the jug-handle-shaped, or so-called Morel ear.
