Vision
This kind of energy is transduced by the visual system.
The 3 main structures which make up the outer ear.
1. Pinna 2. External Auditory Canal (External Auditory Meatus) 3. Eardrum (Tympanic Membrane)
The kind of energy that is transduced by the olfactory and gustatory system.
Chemical Energy
These are the three types of long-term memory.
1. Explicit Memory 2. Implicit Memories 3. Emotional Memories.
These photoreceptors are responsible for detailed and color vision
Cones
The kind of energy that is transduced by the auditory system.
Mechanical Energy (vibrating air molecules create sound waves)
1. Salty 2. Sour 3. Bitter 4. Sweet 5. Umami
These are the 2 different kinds of receptors involved in long-term potentiation.
These cells are neurons that leave the retina through the optic disc and form the optic nerve.
Ganglion Cells
This membrane is where auditory receptor cells are located.
Basilar Membrane
This organ is specialized to process pheremones.
Vomeronasal Organ (VNO)
This kind of memory would be used to explain to someone specific directions on how to bake a cake.
Explicit Memory (Semantic or Declarative)
This is known as the "what" pathway of the visual system.
Ventral Stream
This region of the cochlea is associated with our ability to hear low frequencies.
Apex
After an oderant binds to an olfactory receptor cell it fires an action potential which is communicated to these three different cell types before going to the brain to be processed.
Glomerulus, Mitral Cells, Olfactory Nerve cells
The kind of amenesia in which an individual is unable to form new explicit memories.
Anterograde Amnesia (H.M.)
This pathway of the visual system is associated with conscious vision and when damaged can lead to the phenomenon known as "blindsight".
Geniculostriate Pathway
Damage to the outer or middle ear is referred to as __________, while damage to the cochlea, inner ear, auditory nerve, and brain regions associated with hearing is called _________.
Peripheral Hearing Loss, Central Hearing Loss
The only sense that doesn't make a first stop in the thalamus, but rather projects directly to different regions of the brain.
Olfaction (sense of smell)
This kind of memory would be used when riding a bike and is associated with 2 specific regions of the brain.
Implicit Memory (Procedural), Basal Ganglia, Substantia Nigra
