The 5 Senses
The sense of smell
What is Olfaction?
Describe Place Theory
What is when pitch is determined by the point on the basilar membrane (Cochlea) that vibrates the most.
This structure receives neural impulses from other neurons
What is the Dendrite?
The absolute threshold is:
What is the smallest amount of stimulus that can be detected 50% of the time?
This structure transmits vibrations from the into the middle ear
What is the Cochlea?
The eye has three different types of cone receptors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light.
What is the Trichromatic theory?
Sensory receptors in the skin send messages to this structure:
What is the Somatosensory Cortex?
This structure in the inner ear carries auditory info into the temporal lobes.
What is the Auditory Nerve?
This structure conducts the most pain signals in the body
What is the spinal cord?
The Optic Nerve connects to this brain structure:
What is the Thalamus/Occipital Lobe?
Gate Control Theory is:
What is the spinal cord acts like a "gate" which controls the transmission of pain messages to the brain?
True or False: The Lens inverts the light rays that are focused, meaning the world is upside down.
What is false?
This theory determines pitch by the rate that cilia hair cells fire
What is Frequency-Matching Theory?
What is the Hypothalamus the control center of?
What is the Endocrine system?
