Lesson Seven Flashcards
Sensory Processing
Auditory receptors transduce for:
a. Vibration and temperature.
b. Acceleration and frequency.
c. Frequency and amplitude.
d. Vibrations and amplitude.
c. Frequency and amplitude.
Process where the receptors change or convert the sensory stimulation into neural impulses:
a. Inhibition.
b. Summation.
c. Amplification.
d. Transduction.
d. Transduction.
Rods and cones are receptors for?
a. Vestibular.
b. Touch.
c. Pain.
d. Vision.
d. Vision.
The primary visual cortex is localised in the:
a. Parietal lobe.
b. Thalamus.
c. Occipital lobe.
d. Post-central Gyrus.
c. Occipital lobe
The semicircular canals respond to:
a. Gravity (linear acceleration).
b. Frequency (loudness)
c. Skin pressure (mechanical touch)
d. Head rotation (angular acceleration)
Head rotation (angular acceleration)
Which of these areas acts as a “Sensory Relay”?
a. Thalamus.
b. Substantia Nigra.
c. Hypothalamus.
d. Cerebellum
a. Thalamus.
Which signals are detected by the Pacinian Corpuscle receptors?
a. Pain (chemical).
b. Touch (vibration).
c. Movement of the head.
d. High pitch sound.
b. Touch (vibration).
Vestibular signals are processed in:
a. A network of cortical areas (Somatosensory Cortex, Premotor Cortex, Anterior Insula, Posterior Parietal, Temporo-Parietal Junction, Hippocampus).
b. The subcortical areas only.
c. The Extrastriate Cortex.
d. The primary vestibular cortex in the frontal lobe
a.
A network of cortical areas (Somatosensory Cortex, Premotor Cortex, Anterior Insula, Posterior Parietal, Temporo-Parietal Junction, Hippocampus).
In the primary auditory cortex, each sound frequency is represented in a different location. This is called:
a. Lateral inhibition.
b. Frequency.
c. Tonotopy.
d. Auditory homunculus
c. Tonotopy.
Aδ Fiber encodes for:
a.
Vibrations.
b. Prolonged touch.
c. Pain.
d. Low range temperature.
c. Pain.
