Question
Chapter 10, Problem 19RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The ear is divided into the outer ear, middle ear or ear canal and the inner ear. The outer ear collects the sound waves and transmits it to the inner ear for amplification and interpretation by oculomotor, trochlear, and vestibulocochlear cranial nerves.

- Describe the role of the vestibular apparatus in maintaining equilibrium.arrow_forwardWhen a person blinks, the part of the brain that interprets visual stimulation is suppressed. The spontaneous act of blinking is controlled by the area of the brain that controls involuntary movements such as breathing and blood pressure. To determine whether the lack of light or the act of blinking causes the suppression, scientists had subjects close their eyes and then placed a bright flashing light in their mouth to stimulate the photoreceptors in the eyes through the palate. Visual stimulation was still suppressed. So the photoreceptors in the retina were not stimulated even though they were exposed to light. This study demonstrated that when a person blinks, it is the act of blinking and not the absence of light that causes the suppression of visual stimulation. In the diagram above, identify the part of the brain that is suppressed during blinking and the part of the brain that controls involuntary, spontaneous blinking. Select one: a. 3 and 8 b. 2 and 9 c. 5 and 6 d. 1…arrow_forwardThe sensory system is involved in all the following, except :-a- initiation of reflex movementsb- initiation of voluntary movementsc- learning processesd- initiation of emotional responsesarrow_forward
