Plural of antihelix; ridges of cartilage in the ear that curve opposite to the direction of the main helix.
From anti- (against) + helix (spiral curve) + Latin -ices (plural). A modern anatomical term describing the internal structure of the human ear.
Your ears have these beautiful spiral patterns—the helix curves outward while the antihelix curves inward, creating a natural labyrinth that helps funnel sound waves to your eardrum.
