Question
Answer
Sound travels in waves that consists of alternating ______ and ______   condensation and rarefactions  
🗑
______ determines pitch   frequency  
🗑
_____ determines perceived loudness   amplitude  
🗑
after entering the ear canal, sound will be transmitted via   vibration of the tympanic membrane on the ossicles which in turn vibrate against the oval window  
🗑
the ossicles of the ear   malleus, incus, stapes  
🗑
the middle ear is filled with _____   air  
🗑
the inner ear is filled with _____   fluid (perilymph and endolymph)  
🗑
perilymph is found in the ______ and ______   scala vestibuli and scala tympani  
🗑
endolymph is found in the _____   scala media  
🗑
hair cells are the receptor cells of the ______ which is found in the _____   organi of corti; scala media  
🗑
three compartments of the cochlea   scala vestibuli, scala media, scala tympani  
🗑
pressure waves caused by vibration of the ossicles against the oval window cause ossilation of the ____________   basilar membrane of the scala media  
🗑
the basilar membrane of the organ of corti consists of _____ rows of hair cells, ____ outer and ___ inner   4; 3 outer(important for sound amplification); 1 inner (important for sound detection)  
🗑
the apical surface of each hair cell contains a bundle of _________   stereocilia  
🗑
basilar membrane movements cause ________   the sterocilia to bend  
🗑
the longest sterocilium is called the ________   kinocilium  
🗑
if the vibrations of the basilar membrane cause a hair cell's sterocilia to bend towards teh kinocilium it will release ______ neurotransmitter   more  
🗑
if the vibrations of the basilar membrane cause a hair cell's sterocilia to bend away from the kinocilium it will release ______ neurotransmitter   less  
🗑
the potassium channels on the hair cells are ______   mechanically gated  
🗑
the hair cells at the base of the basilar membrane are ___ and ____ most sensitive to _____ frequencies   short and stiff; high  
🗑
the hair cells at the apex of the basilar membrane are ____ and ____ and are most sensitive to _____ frequencies   long and flexible; low  
🗑
the afferents that come from the hair cells synapse upon the ______ ganglion   spiral  
🗑
spiral ganglion axons project to the ____ nucleus   cochlear (has a tonotopic arrangement)  
🗑
3 options for asceding connections from the cochlear nuclei   dorsal acoustaic stria, intermediate acoustic stria, trapezoid body  
🗑
pathway by which superior olives get bilateral info   trapezoid body  
🗑
first place in the brain where bilateral auditory information is received   superior olive  
🗑
after the superior olive the trapezoid body tract joins with the dorsal and intermediate stria to form the ________ which then travels to the ________   lateral lamniscus; inferior colliculus  
🗑
the axons that originate in the inferior colliculus synapse in the ______   medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamus  
🗑
the axons of the mgn of the thalamus ascend to the ____   primary auditory cortex  
🗑
A1 has a ____ map   tonotopic  
🗑
2 ways brain localizes sound   1. interaural time differences; 2. interaural intensity differences  
🗑
connection between ears and back of the throat   eustachian tube  
🗑
a person with ______ will be able to hear a tuning fork if you press it against the temporal bone behind the ear   conduction deafness (problem with ossicles of the middle ear)  
🗑
a person with ______ deafness has damage to the cochlea (inner ear)   sensorineural  
🗑
how a cochlear implant works   by stimulating the VIII nerve directly, bypassing the structures in the inner ear  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
