***neuro - auditory & vestibular Flashcards
primary auditory cortex location
transverse temporal gyri
important to sound localization
superior olivary nucleus
damage to SON or trapezoid body
difficulty localizing sound
t/f ? SON receives input from ipsilateral cochlear nucleus
false; receives bilateral cochlear nucleus input
receptors in semicircular ducts detect
angular acceleration
crista
pocket of hair cells in ampulla
ampulla
swelling at end of semicircular duct
you will not find kinocilia in
cochlear hair cells
cupula deflection leads to
afferent fiber firing
saccule - when head is upright macula is
vertical (detects up and down)
utricle - when head is upright macula is
horizontal (detects side to side)
utricle and saccule detect
linear acceleration of head
gelatinous membrane of macula
otolithic membrane
gelatinous material of cristae
cupula
gelatinous material of organ of corti
tectorial membrane
