2 and 8
What are the 6 steps of the auditory pathway?
- cochlear hair cells of CN 8
- Cochlear nuclei
- caudal colliculus
- Thalamus
- auditory cortex
- primary auditory pathway
Fast motor response elicited by sudden onset of tactile, vestibular, or acoustic stimulus that exceeds certain intensity threshold?
Startle reflex
What is CN 8?
vestibulochochlear n.
Startle reflex cause flexion/extension of skeletal m.?
flexion
What 3 things does startle reflex facilitate?
- Overriding of conscious bbehavioral patterns
- portection from physical impact
- fight/flight response
What are the 2 types of hearing loss refering to time?
- acute (rapid onses)
2. Chronic (persistent)
What are the 2 types of hearing loss refering to damage?
- conductive
2. sensorineural
deafness as a result of damage to structures of the inner ear preventing stimulation of electrical impusles
Sensorineural
deafness as a result of damage to structures of the external and or middle are preventing the conduction of sound waves to the inner ear
conductive
