Fülcimpától

Fülcimpától is a Hungarian term that translates to "earlobe" in English. The earlobe is the soft, fleshy, and often dangling lower part of the external ear. It is composed of adipose tissue and skin, and unlike the upper part of the auricle (pinna), it lacks cartilage.

In many cultures, the earlobe plays a significant role in personal adornment, most commonly through the wearing of earrings. Ear piercing, the process of creating a hole in the earlobe to allow for jewelry, is a widespread practice across various ages and genders globally. The earlobe is typically chosen for piercing due to its relative lack of cartilage, which can make healing more straightforward compared to other parts of the ear.

From a physiological perspective, the earlobe has a rich blood supply, which contributes to its sensitivity and can cause it to swell or change color with temperature fluctuations or certain medical conditions. While not essential for hearing, its aesthetic and cultural significance is considerable. In some traditional practices or folk beliefs, the size or shape of the earlobe has been associated with certain characteristics, though these are generally not scientifically supported. The term "fülcimpától" specifically refers to this distinct anatomical feature.
