• Let's take a look at each segment individually and see what the boundaries are and what contribution is.

• The Outer Ear: The Pinna of the Outer ear is the most visible part. Its what many folks think of as the ear. In terms of hearing, it doesnât really contribute much.

• If we had Pinnas like rabbits or donkeys there might be some sound gathering and resonance benefits.

• In the graphic view, you can see Diagram Figure A-15 from the text, page 394 of the Outer Ear (colors added).
