THE PROCESS OF SEEING, SMELLING, AND HEARING AND EQUILIBRIUM Flashcards

1
Q

is the process that organizes and distinguishes sensation (sensory information) from one’s own body and the environment, thus making it possible to use the body effectively within the environment. Specifically, it deals with how the brain processes multiple such as vision, auditory system, olfactory, vestibular system, interoception, and taste into usable functional outputs.

Q

This refers to the state of balance achieved when the visual system perceives equal amounts of light from various sources in the environment, allowing for clear and stable vision.

16
Q

This is a thin wall made of cartilage and bone. It divides the inside of the nose into 2 parts

A

Septum

17
Q

This is thin tissue that lines the nose, sinuses, and throat. It warms and moistens the air you breathe in. It also makes the sticky mucus that helps clean the air of dust and other small particles.

A

Mucous membrane

18
Q

These are curved, bony ridges on each side of the nose. They are lined with mucous membrane. They warm and moisten the air you breathe in.

A

Turbinates

19
Q

These are hollow, air-filled chambers in the bone around your nose. Mucus from the sinuses drains into the nasal cavity.

A

Sinuses
