The three smallest bones in the human body are located in the inner ear and play a major role in the transmission of vibrations through the ear. What are the names of these three bones.
1. Hammer
2. Anvil
3. Stirrup
The sensory receptors located in our skin respond to three things. Name these three things.
1. Touch
2. Temperature
3. Pain
The point where the optic nerve passes through the bakc of the eye produces a blind spot in each image sent to the brain. The brain fills in the holes of the blind spot with information when it processes the impulses.
What causes this blind spot to occur?
A lack of photoreceptors (Rods and Cones )
Structure located in the back of the eye and is responsible for carrying impulses from the eye to the appropriate regions of the brain.
A. Cornea
B. Pupil
C. Optic Nerve
D. Cochlear Nerve
C: Optic Nerve
Name the two sensory functions of the human ear.
1. Hearing
2. Balance
Part of the autonomic nervous system that slows everything down and causes heart rate to decrease and activates digestion. Also known as your "Rest and Digest" response.
