57
Q

How do we really hear?

A

The sound waves are gather and funnel into outer ear by the retina. The Pinna channels the sound waves into the auditory canal. As the incoming sound waves hit the eardrum,

it vibrates the exact frequency and amplitude. This vibration causes the ossicles to vibrate in rocking motion in syndrony with the sound waves.

Q

vibration of the air or of another medium that vary in frequency and amplitude. Intensity: density of vibration air molecules, which determine the loudness of sound.

86
Q

Organic Sensitivity

A

Throughout our bodies, whenever blood vessels go, there are free nerve ending that acts as receptor. Some of these are for pain reception and others are for various other kinds of sensations - such as the feeling of nausea or upset stomach or other different feelings that seem to come from inside us. All these sensations are group together and are called organic sensitivity.

87
Q

INTERRELATION OF THE SENSES

A

All are senses send information to the central nervous system where it is coordinated and used. Because we are not conscious that this coordination is going on, we are able to concentrate on meeting the both situation that we are confronted with.
