Which of the following statements concerning the inner ear is TRUE? Question 3 options: a) The bony labyrinth within the tempoal bone contains spaces for the semicircular canals and the cochlea. b) The fibers of the cochlear nerve are attached to hair cells in the semicircular canals to carry information about movements of the head. c) The frequency of sound waves as defined by their wavelengths are perceived as pitch and are measured in decibels (dB). d) The saccule and utricle are critical sensory receptors for interpreting language, distinct from other sounds.
You are watching the stars at night, and you never seem to be looking at the right spot to catch the brightest meteors. Which of the following might explain this? a)Your fovea contains mostly cones; thus you see dim light especially well when looking right at it. b)Your peripheral retina contains more rods, which are more sensitive to dim light than cones; thus objects in your peripheral vision appear brighter in dim light situations. c)Detection of light depends mostly on its color rather than intensity; thus cones play a larger role in detection of light in dim light situations. d) all of the above. ( well explain the correct answer and type answer).
Regarding auditory physiology, what is the mechanism that generates an action potential and release of neurotransmitter substance? a) pressure waves on cells in the vestibular membrane b) movement of the membrane covering the round window c) movement of the hair cells of the coil member towards the tectorial membrane d) movement of cells in the basement membrane towards the cochlea
Who proposed the “trichromatic theory” of color vision, suggesting that color perception is based on the activity of three types of cones sensitive to different wavelengths of light?a) Hermann von Helmholtz b) Gustav Fechner c) Ernst Weber d) David Hubel.
Which of the following statements about photoreceptors is true? A) There are more rod cells in the fovea of the eye, although overall there are more cones in the human eye. B) All of these options C) Photoreceptors are located near the front of the eye, in the cornea. D) There are two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones, that contain different photopigments.

When light strikes a photoreceptor, it reduces the amount of glutamate that it releases. This releases ___ cells from inhibition, allowing them to release more neurotransmitters and excite ___ cells. This produces action potentials that travel down the optic nerve. A) horizontal; amacrine B) amacrine; horizontal C) ganglion; bipolar D) bipolar; ganglion
Which of these photoreceptor cells do not match their function? a) rods - night vision b) stavar - sharp-sighted c) drops - color vision d) No answer text provided.
