Hearing
In which area of the ear is the Cochlea located?
Inner Ear
the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment
Sensation
Theory of color vision that the eye has three cones for receiving color (blue, red, green) and explains colorblindness.
Trichronomic Theory
Which are the 5 tastes
1. SWEET
2 BITTER
3. SOUR
4. SALTY
5. UNAMI
In order for our visual system to work properly, the lens must focus light onto the
a. retina.
b. iris.
c. pupil.
d. cornea.
A. Retina
semicircular canals are...
Three tiny, fluid-filled tubes in your inner ear that help you keep your balance.
focusing on particular stimuli
Selective attention
The Rods...
are the Visual receptor cells that correspond to lightness and darkness and lines and angles. They are found on the periphery of the retina.
What is the main function of the vestibular sense?
Control body movement and balance
The photoreceptors we need to appreciate a blue sky on a sunny day are the _______, whereas the photoreceptors we use to detect the stars outside at night are the _______.
a. cones; hair cells
b. Meissner’s corpuscles; rods
c. cones; rods
d. rods; cones
C. Cones; Rods
Which of the following auditory components is not located in the middle ear?
A. Stapes
B. Eardrum
C. Auditory Cannal
D. Hammer
C. Auditory Cannal
failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed somewhere else
Inattenional Blindness
Third stage in the visual process. Light passes through this curved feature and it inverts the image and focuses the image on the back of the eye.
Lens
What is Unami?
One of the five basic tastes, sensed by a specialized receptor on the human tongue.
These are the three basic steps to all sensory systems. Are they in the correct order? Receive stimulus, Transform stimulis, Deliver stimulis
Yes it is correct!
Explain th place theory of hearing
suggests that we hear different pitches because different sound waves trigger activity at different places along the cochlea's basilar membrane
Is the smallest level of energy required by an external stimulus to be detectable by the human senses, including vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch.
What is the main function of the retina?
To receive light that the lens has focused, convert the light into neural signals,
Karen can detect the position of her leg and foot as she walks. This feedback arises by way of which sense?
Kinesthetic sense
Thanks to _______, we can distinguish sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami tastes.
a. locations on the tongue where each taste is processed
b. a high concentration of salty and sweet receptors
c. the presence of five categories of taste buds
d. specialized taste receptors
c. the presence of five categories of taste buds
What are the three types of hearing loss?
conduction hearing loss.
Nerve deafness
sensorineural hearing loss,
What is the process called in which one form of energy is changed into another? In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies, such as touch and smells, into neural impulses our brain can interpret?
Transduction
The reason that we have blind spots in our visual fields is that
a. it is impossible for our visual systems to accurately compress visual information.
b. we move our eyes almost constantly, usually about every 50 milliseconds.
c. there are no rods in the fovea.
d. there are no photoreceptors on the optic disc.
d. there are no photoreceptors on the optic disc.
Both the sense of taste and the sense of smell rely on cells designed to detect...
a. vibrations.
b. chemicals.
c. temperature.
d. air pressure.
B. Chemicals
The study of how physical events, such as lights and sounds, affect our senses is called
a. psychoanalysis.
b. psychophysics.
c. Gestalt psychology.
d. neuropsychology
