Embryological Basis
Dr. Paul Nogier noted that the ear was composed of tissue from each of the three primary types of tissue in the developing embryo. His theory was that each type of embryological tissue on the ear accounts for a different somatotopic functions related to the auricle. Ectodermal tissue, superficial tissue is found in the ear lobe in the helix teal. The ectoderm become the skin, hair, sweat gland, cornea and lens of the eye. Nose, epithelium, teeth, nerves, spinal cord, subcortex of brain, cerebrum and pituitary gland, pineal gland and adrenal medulla.
The mesodermal tissue , the middle tissue is found in the anithelix scaphoid fossa, the triangular fossa. The mesoderm becomes the musculoskeletal system of muscles, joints, bones, cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, connective tissue, blood cells from the bone marrow, lymphatic tissues, genial organs, kidney, and the adrenal cortex.
The third type is the endodermal tissue, the deep tissue which is found in the concha. The endoderm becomes the gastrointestinal digestive tract, the lungs, tonsil and the respiratory system. The internal organs like the liver, pancreas, bladder, urethra.
