Sensory Systems - Vision / Auditory

Question 1

photoreceptors are tuned to specific blank

Answer 1

wavelengths of light

Question 2

this stuff embedded in the photoreceptor discs detect photons

Answer 2

rhodopsin

Question 3

in dark conditions, cGMP is free to bind to blank channels

Answer 3

sodium

Question 4

dark conditions has an open channel and the cell is blank

Answer 4

depolarized

Question 5

light conditions activates blank which activeates blank which breaks down blank which blank sodium channel which makes the cell stop firing

Answer 5

transducin (g protein), phosphodiesterase, cGMP, closes

Question 6

cones have high resolution, and blank convergence onto ganglion cells

Answer 6

low

Question 7

rods have low resolution, and blank convergence onto ganglion cells

Answer 7

high

Question 8

parvocellular pathway has blank cells, and is mostly blank

Answer 8

midget, cones

Question 9

magnocellular pathway has blank cells and is mostly blank

Answer 9

parasol, rods

Question 10

v1 neurons are organized according to orientation and blank

Answer 10

ocular dominance

Question 11

retinal ganglion cells detect stimulus establish the blank

Answer 11

center surround

Question 12

organizes low level features of vision

Answer 12

primary vis cortex

Question 13

organizes more features/integration of vision

Answer 13

secondary vis cortex

Question 14

where pathway (localization, movement)

Answer 14

dorsal

Question 15

what pathway (identity, object form)

Answer 15

ventral

Question 16

site of mechanoreceptor activation and signal transduction

Answer 16

organ of corti

Question 17

pathway of vision sense

Answer 17

photoreceptors transduced –> bipolar cells relay –> ganglion cells integration –> thalamus LGN –> primary occipital cortex

Question 18

outer cells blank the signal

Answer 18

amplify

Question 19

proteins of outer hair cells

Answer 19

prestin

Question 20

auditory pathway goes through these structures

Answer 20

olives, inferior colliculus, medial geniculate, cochlear nucleus

Question 21

medial superior olive is a coincidence detector that enables sound blank

Answer 21

localization

Question 22

medial geniculate nucleus leads to the blank

Answer 22

primary auditory cortex

Question 23

primary auditory cortex is organized by blank but also processes info related to blank

Answer 23

tone, loudness

Question 24

speech comprehension area

Answer 24

wernickes

Question 25

speech production area

Answer 25

brocas
