Q

basilar membrane

A
26
Q

primary auditory cortex

A
27
Q

conduction/conductive deafness

A

hole in your eardrum due to fluid or excessive ear wax; ossicles are impaired

28
Q

sensorineural hearing loss/nerve deafness

A

hair cells in the cochlea are damaged due to old age or extended exposure to loud noise; once hair cells are gone, they won’t come back

29
Q

place theory

A
30
Q

frequency matching theory

A
31
Q

visible light

A

the light we see (400-700 nanometers)

32
Q

cornea

A

protective layer of eye (accessory structure)

33
Q

pupil

A

opening of eye; allows light in (accessory structure)

34
Q

iris

A

color of our eye (accessory structure)

35
Q

lens

A

bends light to focus on retina (accessory structure)

36
Q

retina

A

where transduction takes place

37
Q

retinal disparity

A
38
Q

ocular accommodation/accommodation

A

ability of lens to bend/change shape

39
Q

dark adaption

A

ability to see in dim light

40
Q

rods

A

black and white/see in the dark; peripheral vision

41
Q

cones

A

help see color

42
Q

fovea

A

region in the retina with the highest concentration of cones

43
Q

visual acuity

A

ability to see details; greatest in the fovea

44
Q

ganglion cells

A
45
Q

blind spot

A

light insensitive point; where optic nerve leaves eyeball

46
Q

primary visual cortex

A

in occipital lobe; first to receive visual information

47
Q

hue

A

the exact shade/color your referring to

48
Q

saturation

A

the fullness/vividness of color

49
Q

trichromatic theory

A

cones are sensitive to 3 colors: red (long wavelengths), blue (medium wavelengths), green (short wavelengths)

50
Q

opponent process theory

A

color sensitive elements are opposite of one another; red/green, blue/yellow, black/white

51
Q

afterimage effect

A

image stays temporary

52
Q

color blindness

A

only one or two of the three cones exist/working; not blind to all color

53
Q

synesthesia

A

the blending of senses

54
Q

olfaction/olfactory perception

A
55
Q

olfaction: limbic system

A
56
Q

gustation/taste perception

A
57
Q

papillae

A
58
Q

a-delta vs c fibers

A
59
Q

gate control theory

A
60
Q

analgesia

A
61
Q

vestibular sense/sense of equilibrium

A
62
Q
