suggestion

"The external ear is developed from six auricular hillocks arising from the first and second pharyngeal arches. The first pharyngeal arch gives rise to hillocks 1 to 3, and the second, forming auricular hillocks 4 to 6, the antihelix, antitragus and concha are derived from the latter 5."

Line 25:227 · Use the Oxford comma in 'antihelix, antitragus and concha'.
