A

Semicircular ducts

43
Q

What kind of glands are located in the external auditory canal?

A

Ceruminous glands

44
Q

All neural special sensory signals are relayed to the thalamus, except for the sensation of __________.

A

Olfaction

45
Q

Which of the following sources of input is not needed for equilibrium?

A

Cochlea

46
Q

The loudness of sound is determined by the vibrations of the __________.

A

basilar membrane

47
Q

How is pitch determined?

A

By which area of the basilar membrane vibrates

48
Q

Which of the following sequences of events trigger an action potential in the axon of the cochlear nerve?

A

1) The basilar membrane moves up toward the tectorial membrane, bending the stereocilia.
2) Bending the stereocilia opens potassium ion channels that depolarize the hair cell.
3) The depolarized hair cell releases neurotransmitters, triggering action potentials in the axon of the cochlear nerve.

49
Q

What structure connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx?

If you are standing still and then you start moving forward, the endolymph in your inner ear will __________.

A

Move forward more slowly than the hair cells

51
Q

In which structure is endolymph found?

A

Cochlear duct
