Review Flashcards
reflex contraction to loud sound
tensor tympani, stapedius
innervates malleus
trigeminal nerve
innervates stapes
facial nerve
basilar membrane is thin but blank and hears blank frequency
stiff
apex hears blank frequencies and is wide and blank
low, flexible
hair cells
stereocilia
inner hair cells have blank rows, and transmit signals to blank
one, auditory nerve
outer hair cells have blank rows and is for blank
3, electromotility (wiggle up and down)
damage to hair cells or auditory nerve fibers
sensorineural hearing loss
deflection of stereocilia –> tip links open ion channels –> hair cell depolarizes –> activate auditory nerve fibers –> signal sent to brain
inner hair cell
deflection of stereocilia –> tip links open ion channels –> hair cell depolarizes –> change in cellular shape and amplifies basilar membrane
outer hair cellsr
central auditory pathway
cochlear nucleus, superior olivary complex, inferior cooliculus, medial geniculate body, auditory cortex
medial geniculate body is in the blank
thalamus
vestibular system for angular motion
semicircular canals
vestibular system parts for linear acceleration
utricle, saccule
semicircular canals are aka
ampula
utricle saccule is aka
macula
sensitive to light, easily bleached, and concentrated in periphery
