Sensory Information
Proprioreception describes what sense?
Body movement (limb position)
The innermost layer of the eye
Retina
Another word for "ear drum", part of the ear that amplifies sound
Tympanic membrane
Another word for "near-sightedness", where eyeball is too LONG
Myopia
Taste and smell both require what type of stimulus?
Chemical
The coloured, circular muscle that controls pupil size
Iris
Smallest bones in the human body, important for amplifying and passing on sound from the middle ear.
Ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes)
Colour blindness
The process of a receptor becoming accustomed to a stimulus
Sensory adaptation
Vitreous humour
Inner ear structure responsible for dynamic equilibrium (balance during movement)
Eye defect where lens becomes opaque, and light is prevented from passing through
Cataracts
What type of energy do sensory receptors convert stimuli into?
Electrochemical impulses (electrical)
Low-intensity light sensitive cells (for black & white vision)
Rods
Inner ear structure where vibrations are converted into nerve impulses
Cochlea (or Organ of Corti)
Technology used to bypass damaged parts of inner ear
Cochlear implant
The interpretation of sensory information by the brain (ie. making sense of sensory information)
Perception
Part of the middle (choroid) layer that focuses the image on the retina
Lens
Frequency of sound that travels LESS far down the Organ of Corti
High frequency sound
Perforating this part of the ear would result in decreased sound amplification
Tympanic membrane (ear drum)
