22
Q
tympanic membrane
A
23
Q
(ossicles) hammer, anvil, stirrup
A
24
Q
cochlea
A
25
basilar membrane
26
primary auditory cortex
27
conduction/conductive deafness
hole in your eardrum due to fluid or excessive ear wax; ossicles are impaired
28
sensorineural hearing loss/nerve deafness
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
place theory
30
frequency matching theory
31
visible light
the light we see (400-700 nanometers)
32
cornea
protective layer of eye (accessory structure)
33
pupil
opening of eye; allows light in (accessory structure)
34
iris
color of our eye (accessory structure)
35
lens
bends light to focus on retina (accessory structure)
36
retina
where transduction takes place
37
retinal disparity
38
ocular accommodation/accommodation
ability of lens to bend/change shape
39
dark adaption
ability to see in dim light
40
rods
black and white/see in the dark; peripheral vision
41
cones
help see color
42
fovea
region in the retina with the highest concentration of cones
43
visual acuity
ability to see details; greatest in the fovea
44
ganglion cells
45
blind spot
light insensitive point; where optic nerve leaves eyeball
46
primary visual cortex
in occipital lobe; first to receive visual information
47
hue
the exact shade/color your referring to
48
saturation
the fullness/vividness of color
49
trichromatic theory
cones are sensitive to 3 colors: red (long wavelengths), blue (medium wavelengths), green (short wavelengths)
50
opponent process theory
color sensitive elements are opposite of one another; red/green, blue/yellow, black/white
51
afterimage effect
image stays temporary
52
color blindness
only one or two of the three cones exist/working; not blind to all color
53
synesthesia
the blending of senses
54
olfaction/olfactory perception
55
olfaction: limbic system
56
gustation/taste perception
57
papillae
58
a-delta vs c fibers
59
gate control theory
60
analgesia
61
vestibular sense/sense of equilibrium
62
kinesthesia
