It inclines the pinna outwards; it is, accordingly, an abductor of the pinna.
The pinna of the ear is extremely mobile, and its displacements have a real value from the point of view of physiognomical expression.
In the human species, the pinna of the ear being generally immobile, the muscles which belong to it are, very naturally, considerably atrophied.
Because the pinna of the horse's ear is so very mobile, we will first begin with a study of its auricular muscles.
Covered by the preceding muscle and the superior portion of the parotid, it is inserted into the base of the pinna of the ear, and has the same action as the middle cervico-auricular.
Its action is analogous to that of the preceding muscle; but, further, it directs the opening of the pinna forwards.
Extending from the scutiform cartilage to the inner side of the concha, it contributes to the movement of rotation by which the opening of the pinna of the ear is directed forwards.

On the cranial surface of the pinna elevations correspond to the concha and to the fossae of the helix and antihelix.
Wounds of the pinna when produced by undeformed bullets were usually of the same slitlike nature remarked in perforations of the cartilages of the nose, and healed with equal rapidity.
