Chapter 19

Question 0

Pitch

Answer 0

A tones experienced hoghness or lowness; depends on frequency

Question 1

Fequency

Answer 1

The nimber of complete wavelengths that pass a point at a given time

Question 2

Middle ear

Answer 2

The champer between the eardrum and cochlea containg three tiny bones (hammar, anvil, stirrup) that concentrate the variations of the eardrum on yhe cochleas oval window

Question 3

Cochlea

Answer 3

A coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves traveling through the cochlear fluid trigger nerve impulses.

Question 4

Inner ear

Answer 4

The inner most part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular chanals, and vestibular sacs.

Question 5

Sensorineural hearing lodd

Answer 5

Heating loss caused by damage ti the cochleas receptor calls or to the auditory nerves; also called nerve defness

Question 6

Conduction hearing loss

Answer 6

Hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea.

Question 7

Cochlea implants

Answer 7

A device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory heave through electroddes threaded into the cochlea

Question 8

Place theory

Answer 8

Inhearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea’s membrane is stimulated

Question 9

Fequency theory

Answer 9

In hearing, the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, thus enabling us to sense its pitch.

Question 10

Kinesthesis

Answer 10

Your sense of position and movement of your body parts

Question 11

Vestibular sense

Answer 11

The sense of body movement and position, including the sense of balance

Question 12

Great amplitude

Small amplitude

Answer 12

Load sounds

Soft sounds

Question 13

Short wavelength

Long wavelength

Answer 13

High frequency- high pitched sound

Low frequency- low-pitch sound

Question 14

Embodied cognition

Answer 14

In psychological science, the influence of bodily sensations, gestures, and other states on cognitive preference and judgment

Question 15

Which theory of pitch can hear high and low pitch

Answer 15

High pitch- place theory

Low pitch- frequency theory

Question 16

Gate control theory

Answer 16

That theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological “gate” is opened by the activity of pain signals traveling up small nerve fibers and is closed by activity in larger fivers or by infomation coming from the brain

Question 17

Smell

Answer 17

1.odor bind to receptors 2. Ofactory cells are activated and send electric signals 3. The signals are relayed via converged axons. 4. The signals are transmitted to higher regions of the brain

Question 18

Vision

Answer 18

Source: Light wave striking the eye.

Receptors: Rods and cones in the retina.

Question 19

Hearing

Answer 19

Source: sound waves striking outer ear
Receptors: cochlear hair cells in the inner ear

Question 20

Touch

Answer 20

Source: pressure, warmth, cold on the skin
Receptor: skin receptors detect pressure warmth cold and pain

Question 21

Taste

Answer 21

Source: chemical molecukes in the mouth
Receptors: basic tongue receptrs for sweet sour salty bitter and umami

Question 22

Smell

Answer 22

Source: chemical molecukes breathed in through the nose

Receptors millions of recetors at top of nasal cavity

Question 23

Body position- kinesthesis

Answer 23

Source: any change in position of a body part, interacting with vision
Receptors: kinesthetic sensors all over yhe body

Question 24

Body movement- vestibular sense

Answer 24

Source: movement of fluids in the inner caused by head/body movement
Soure: hairlike receptors in the semicircular canals and vestibular sacs
