"Tragus" refers to a small, pointed, cartilaginous projection located on the outer ear, just in front of the ear canal and partially covering ear canal. The tragus is situated opposite the antitragus, another small projection on the ear. The tragus helps to funnel sound waves into the ear canal and also aids in protecting the ear canal from foreign objects. The tragus is a feature of the anatomy of the human ear and varies in size and shape among individuals. (© ChatGPT 3.5 Version, Modified, accessed chat.openai.com/chat April 9, 2024).
