Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The posterior auricular muscle is a muscle behind the auricle of the outer ear. It arises from the mastoid part of the temporal bone, and inserts into the lower part of the cranial surface of the auricle of the outer ear. It draws the auricle backwards, usually a very slight effect.
Detailed explanation-2: -The greater auricular nerve provides sensory innervation to the earlobe and the angle of the mandible. Injury results in paresthesia in the region of innervation. The transverse cervical nerve provides sensory innervation in the region of the anterior cervical triangle.
