What function do the malleus, incus, and stapes bones in the inner ear play in processing sounds?
A.
The bones transform pressure waves into nerve impulses that the brain recognizes as sound.
B.
The bones equalize pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere.
C.
The bones transmit vibrations to the oval window setting the fluid in the cochlea in motion.
D.
The bones depolarize or hyperpolarize hair cells depending on the direction they vibrate.
Regarding the sensation of various species, which of the following statements is false?
A. The eyes of honeybees transduce parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that are invisible to humans
B. Bats ears transduce sound waves that humans cannot hear
C. Research has shown that the human eye transducers all of the electromagnetic spectrum to the brain, but the brain is unable to perceive it.
D. Sharks have special organs that can sense the bioelectric fields of other living things
Which of the following are correct?
Which one or more?
a.
Auditory fatigue is the increase in threshold after exposure to a loud sound. Auditory adaptation is a reduction in response of the auditory receptors to a sound over time followed by a steady state.
b.
The change in auditory thresholds is independent of the intensity, but dependent on the duration of the loud sound.
c.
Exposure to loud sounds is unable to damage the hair cells in the inner ear and therefore cannot lead to a permanent threshold shift.
d.
Auditory adaptation is the increase in threshold after exposure to a loud sound. Auditory fatigue is a reduction in response of the auditory receptors to a sound over time followed by a steady state.

A. The basilar membrane fibers nearer the oval window are long and fluffy B. Sound signals are processed by the resonance of the basilar membrane before reaching the receptors C. Different frequencies of pressure waves in the cochlea cause specific places along the basilar membrane to vibrate, stimulating particular hair cells and sensory neurons. D.

- What is the function of the three ossicles shown in blue (10, 12, 13)? ear with labels colorful.png a. amplify the motion created by sound waves hitting the tympanic membrane (ear drum) and conveying that to the labyrinth's little oval window, causing fluid to slosh inside the cochlea B . move when the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, creating pressure waves in the middle ear that feed down into the pharynx and combine with sound wave information from our jaws C. When the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, their mechanoreceptors are activated to send neural impulses to the brain about the sound wave intensities (loudness) D. they equalize the pressure inside the ear to protect the delicate sensory cells inside the inner eararrow_forwardThe transduction process of converting light into neural signals sent to the central nervous system involves which of these steps? A. Bipolar Cells collect signals from Rods and Cones. B. The Optic Nerve carries signals about light from the Lateral Geniculate Nuclues to the Retinal Ganglion Cells. C. Retinal Ganglion Cells relay information to Rods and Cones. D.
