In vision, The sympathetic system stimulates the ciliary muscle to contract resulting in decreased tension of zonal fibers on the lens Astigmatism occurs as a result of an eye that is too long Rods release more neurotransmitter when transducin is not activated by the dissociation of retinal and opsin Rods are concentrated in the fovea

Occupational Hearing Loss Frequent exposure to loud noise of a particular pitch can cause loss of hair cells in the part of the cochlea that responds to that pitch. People who work with or around noisy machinery are at risk for such frequency-specific hearing loss. Taking precautions such as using ear plugs to reduce sound exposure is important. Noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented, but once it occurs it is irreversible because dead or damaged hair cells are not replaced. FIGURE 33.24 shows the threshold decibel levels at which sounds of different frequencies can be detected by an average 25-year-old carpenter, a 50-year-old carpenter, and a 50-year-old who has not been exposed to on-the-job noise. Sound frequencies are given in hertz (cycles per second), The more cycles per second, the higher the pitch. FIGURE 33.24 Effects of age aria occupational noise exposure. The graph shows the threshold hearing capacities fin decibels) for sounds of different frequencies (given in hertz) in a 25-year-okj carpenter (blue). a 50-year-old carpenter (red), arid a 50-year-ofd who did not have any on-the-job noise exposure (brown). 1. Which sound frequency was most easily detected by all three people?
How are Ca2+ channels involved in phototransduction? they cause neurotransmitter release even if no action potentials are produced are not affected by PDE activation in the outer segments when open, they lead to hyperpolarization in photoreceptors in darkness, they do not rely on CGMP levels The density of cones in the retina: is highest where cone outer segments increase in diameter is lowest where retinal blood vessels are absent is drastically less than that of rods in the fovea is indicative of what areas are associated with acuity The recycling of rhodopsin.
Photoreceptors in the retina have special channels that are open to Na+ in the dark. When light hits photoreceptors, these special channels close. What can you cònclude from this? None of the above O Photoreceptors hyperpolarize to light Photoreceptors depolarize to light Photoreceptor voltage does not change in the presence of light
The discharge rate of an off-center ganglion cell: is not an absolute measure of light intensity does not depend on the background level of illumination O is highest when receptive field is in complete darkness O is the same for center-only and center-plus-surround illumination Which of the following terms are most suitably matched? Pitch, waveform Loudness, amplitude Frequency, pressure Tonotopy, phase
In the sensory pathway for taste The second order neurons go to the limbic system Taste information is carried by the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus cranial nerves All of these are correct The receptor cells are the first–order neurons
Put the following steps in order for transduction for vision. Question options: PDE breaks down cyclic GMP Photon is absorbed by discs the photoreceptor hyperpolarizes Sodium channels are inactivated and the dark current stops Opsin is activated Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is activated Transducin is activated
All sensory organs convert energy in the environment into action potentials in the nervous systern. Explain the process of how our ears convert energy in the form of sound waves in the air into action potentials along a nerve. Include the appropriate order of structures and regions of the ear as well as the physiological process of creating action potentials and interpreting them in the brain.
The membrane potential of cells within the visual system is recorded in the dark, then following a brief flash of light. During the flash of light you would expect __________ cells to _____________ a rod cell; hyperpolarize b bipolar cell; depolarize c ganglion cell; depolarize d all of the above are correct
Hair cells of the cristae are stimulated by :-a- bending of their stereocilia toward any directionb- movement of endolymph in any directionc- bending of stereocilia toward kinociliumd- bending of stereocilia away from kinocilium
Photoreceptor synapses with bipolar cells: respond to depolarization and hyperpolarization of photoreceptors trigger action potentials rather than graded potentials involve AMPA and kainate but not mGluR6 receptors are always sign-conserving The shape of the lens is controlled by the muscle Optic Fovea Pupillary Cilliary
The pinna: Is one of three middle ear bones O If damaged, its function can be restored by a hearing aid All of the answers are true Has vertical symmetrical convolutions Which of the following is true regarding K+ ionic gradient in the inner ear? It is highest in the perilymph of the scala tympani It is maintained by the stria vascularis Both transduction and somatic K+ channels favor K+ efflux when open It is the same for all fluid-filled chambers of the cochlea
What statement is true regarding the retinal pigment epithelium? Cells in the PE are the site of phototransduction Cells in the PE signal between rods and bipolar cells Cells in the PE have enzymes that convert the light-sensitive photopigments back to a useable form Cells in the PE send their axons out of the retina
