Study of Morphological Variations of External Ears in the College Students of District Panipat, Haryana
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study is aimed at describing different morphological features of the external ear, helix, tragus, types of Darwin's tubercles, shape, and forms of the earlobes. The study was conducted in the selected age group of college students of District Panipat of Haryana (India). The data of 125 students were collected which consists of 85 females and 40 males ranging in young age from 18 to 24 years. The occurrence and frequencies with respect to these features have been calculated graphically and population-based characteristics have been compiled to link these characteristics with a student's community
