Dizziness and vertigo are symptoms of fluid build up in the cochlea and inner ear. Receptors for hearing are called hair cells and are only stimulated upon movement. Discuss how the increase in fluid can lead to a malfunction in the receptors leading to dizziness and inability to hear well. You will need to discuss the pathway of hearing using the tympanic membrane, malleus, incus, stapes, round window, oval window, hair cells and vestibulocochlear nerve in your response.
In terms of transmitting sound, which of the below are in the correct order? tympanic membrane-malleus-stapes-incus-oval window tympanic membrane-incus-stapes-malleus-oval window O tympanic membrane-malleus-incus-stapes-oval window O tympanic membrane-malleus-incus-stapes-round window
How do we localize where sound is coming from and which structures are responsible? Select all that apply: a. The auditory nerve communicates with the vestibular nuclei to process information about the body's location b. Medial geniculate nucleus processes visual stimuli to locate visual cues associated with the sound c. The hair cells simultaneously process information about frequency as well as the location the sound originated in d. Lateral superior olives respond to differences in the amplitude of sound waves from each ear e. Medial superior olives respond to differences in the time it takes sound to arrive in each ear
Which of the following is a function of the external ear? O To protect against broadband noises such as high explosives O To disregard any cues on the elvation of the sound source To help distinguish ba from pa consonants To match low-impedance sounds to the higher-impedance fluid of the inner ear Objects are perceived by photoreceptors because the rods or cones as their in the presence of light depolarize, pigments are manufactured hyperpolarize; pigments decompose repolarize; pigments remain unchanged depolarize; pigments decompose
Fill in the blanks with the correct terms: Pitch corresponds best to the physical quality ___________ and loudness corresponds best to the physical quality ___________. __________ is the quality that differentiates sounds with the same perceived pitch, loudness, and duration. In general, humans can hear sounds between _____ Hz and _____ Hz, and they are most sensitive to sound between _____ Hz and _____ Hz. A _____ dB sound is perceived as twice as loud as a 20 dB sound. A _____ dB sound has an amplitude ten times greater than a 20 dB sound. A ______ periodic tone is made up of many ______ periodic tones called harmonics.
A major function of the middle ear is to transmit sound vibrations from the external ear to the inner ear. Use words and arrows to make a flow-chart (words with arrows) that depicts the middle ear structures in the order in which sound vibrations are passed as they make their way from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear.
What type of receptor cell is involved in the sensationsof sound and balance?a. photoreceptorb. chemoreceptorc. mechanoreceptord. nociceptor
Mechanoreceptors might detect which of the following sensations:-a. temperatureb. smellc. lightd. pressure
Using the ideas of the place theory of pitch and the tonotopic organization of the auditory cortex, explain how we perceive different pitches of sounds.
Which of the following is TRUE for hearing? the organ of Corti sits on top of the vestibular membrane the stapes is connected to the round window the stereocilia of the hair cells of the organ of Corti are connected to the basilar membrane the cochlear duct is located between the vestibular and the basilar membranes
Which of the following is/are commonalities between hearing and equilibrium? The receptors of both are depolarized by an influx of K+ Both occur in the inner ear All of these are correct Both use hair cells as sensory receptors
