Physiology - Neurophysiology Exam 04 Part 04

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
gathers sound waves. also helps determine location of sounds in vertical space   pinna (auricle)  
🗑
conducts sound waves to tympanic membrane   external auditory canal  
🗑
vibrates (moves inward and back) at the frequency of the sound wave, with the magnitude of movement related to loudness. conducts sound waves to the middle ear, and converts sound energy to mechanical displacements   tympanic membrane (cardum)  
🗑
Middle ear consists of these 3 small bones:   malleus (hammer), incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup)  
🗑
stiff and narrow, sensitive to high frequency   base  
🗑
floppy and wide, sensitive to low frequency   apex  
🗑
ear wax, fluid, perforation of tympanic membrane, ostosclerosis   conductive hearing loss (external or middle ear)  
🗑
noise, drugs, presbycusis, tumors   sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear)  
🗑
ototoxicity   hearing loss associated with drugs  
🗑
ringing in ears, or perception of sound w/o stimulus. this can be caused by a # of CNS deficits, not just auditory problems   tinnitus  
🗑
conscious and unconscious sense of posture and balance by monitoring head movements   proprioception  
🗑
adjust muscular contraction to maintain posture and balance   motor control  
🗑
adjust eye movements so that visual target remains on retina in response to head movements   vestibuloocular reflex  
🗑
each canal has a bulge called?   ampulla  
🗑
a sheet of cells within the ampulla contains hair cells similar to those in the cochlea   crista  
🗑
the cilia of these hair cells, similar to the macula in the utricle and saccule, contain one? along with other shorter?   kinocilium and stereocilia  
🗑
the cilia project into a gelatinous mass called? that extends across the ampulla   cupola  
🗑
moves the eye laterally, toward the ear (abduction)   lateral rectus CNVI  
🗑
moves the eye medially, toward the nose (adduction)   medial rectus CNIII  
🗑
eye move together   conjugate eye movements  
🗑
fast movement of the eye from one fixation point to another   saccades  
🗑
slow movements that track a target across the visual field   smooth pursuit  
🗑
this the reflex that maintains a visual image on the retina during head turning. it does by automatically adjusting eye postion for the movement of the head. thus, if the head turns toward left, eyes move toward right   vestibuloocular reflex  
🗑
illusion of movement, typically spinning   vertigo  
🗑
excess endolymph produces excessive force on the hair cells. result can be deafness, tinnitus, and vertigo   meniere's disease  
🗑
often caused by a mismatch b/w vestibular signals   motion sickness  
🗑
attached to the basilar membrane is ? which are the receptor cells for hearing?   hair cells  
🗑
at the ends of hair cells are? that attach to the tectorial membrane   stereocilia  
🗑
what projects from the edge of the cochlea?   tectorial membrane  
🗑
the malleus is attached to the ?   tympanic membrane  
🗑
the stapes is attached to the ?   oval window  
🗑
what connects the malleus and the stapes?   incus  
🗑
has a high concentration of Na+ and low conc of K+   perilymph  
🗑
has a high conc of K+ and low conc. of Na+   endolymph  
🗑
also contains K+ channels and tip links that connect stereocilia in a given hair cell?   stereocilia  
🗑
stereocilia in a vertical position, have enough stress that the ?   some of the K+ channels are still open  
🗑
b/c of high K+ in the endolymph what happens?   K+ moves into cell and depolarizes it  
🗑
in the neutral position the hair cells are slightly?   depolarized  
🗑
if the stereocilia bend toward the tallest stereocilia, tension of tip lengths is enhanced causing?   more K+ channels open and depolarization happens  
🗑
if the stereocilia bend toward the shortest stereocilia, less tension of tip lengths, what happens?   K+ channels close causing hyperpolarization  
🗑
the ? of sound is mainly encoded by which neurons are excited   frequency  
🗑
? is coded by the frequency of action potentials and number of neurons activated by sound   loudness  
🗑
horizontal side to side localization   superior olivary nucleus  
🗑
vertical up and down localization   pinna  
🗑
the otoliths are composed of crystals of?   calcium carbonate  
🗑
otolith organs contain?   utricle and saccule  
🗑
conscious and unconscious sense of posture and balance by monitoring head movements   proprioception  
🗑
adjust muscular contraction to maintain posture and balance   motor control  
🗑
adjust eye movements so that visual target remains on retina in response to head movements   vestibuloocular reflex  
🗑
movement of cilia toward the kinocilium, hair cell?   depolarizes  
🗑
movement of cilia away from kinocilium the hair cell?   hyperpolarizes  
🗑
both structures of the otolith organs contain this sensor epithelium called?   macula  
🗑
the cilia of hair cells contain one long cilium with a bulbous end that is called?   kinocilium  
🗑
the cilia of hair cells also contain multiple?   stereocilia  
🗑
all cilia project into gelatinous substance which contains?   otoliths  
🗑
