Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The ear is structured to provide a clear pathway for auditory stimuli to be captured and processed. It is important to distinguish between the components focused on capturing the stimulus, and components focused on processing them. One way to do that is to understand the order in which the ear parts are arranged.

- Figure 36.14 Cochlear implants can restore hearing in people who have a nonfunctional cochlea The implant consists of a microphone that picks up sound. A speech processor selects sounds in the range of human speech, and a transmitter converts these sounds to electrical impulses, which are then sent to the auditory nerve. Which of the following types of hearing loss would not be restored by a cochlear implant? Hearing loss resulting from absence or loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti. Hearing loss resulting from an abnormal auditory nerve. Hearing loss resulting from fracture of the cochlea. Hearing loss resulting from damage to bones of the middle ear.arrow_forwardMatch each of the following terms with the appropriate description. _____ somatic senses (general senses)a.produced by strong stimulation _____ special sensesb.endings of sensory neurons or specialized cells next to them _____ variations in stimulus intensity _____ action potentialc.taste, smell, hearing, balance, and vision _____ sensory receptord.frequency and number of action potentials e.touch, pressure, temperature, pain, and muscle sensearrow_forwardIn the ear, sound waves cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate. What happens next in the middle ear? In the inner ear?arrow_forward
- which statements are true about the Auditory Structures and their Functions a. The middle ear is connected to the mastoid air cells. b. The inner ear has three parts: the semicircular canals; the vestibule, which contains the utricle and the saccule; and the cochlea. c. The cochlea is a circular-shaped canal within the temporal bone. d. The cochlea is divided into two compartments by the vestibular and basilar membranes. The scala vestibuli and scala tympani contain perilymph. The cochlear duct contains endolymph and the spiral organ (organ of Corti).arrow_forwardWhat are the roles of the cochlea and auditory nerve in hearing?arrow_forwardWhat function do the malleus, incus, and stapes bones in the inner ear play in processing sounds? A. The bones transform pressure waves into nerve impulses that the brain recognizes as sound. B. The bones equalize pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. C. The bones transmit vibrations to the oval window setting the fluid in the cochlea in motion. D. The bones depolarize or hyperpolarize hair cells depending on the direction they vibrate.arrow_forward
- Highlight the correct one about the cochlear duct?a. It is part of the bony labyrinth.b. It is filled with perilymph.c. It contains hair cells that convert sound waves into nerveimpulses.d. It contains a spiral organ that rests on a vestibularmembranearrow_forwardWhat do you think are the reasons why there are deaf and hard of hearing persons? Explain brieflyarrow_forwardIf someone is born with dense cataracts on both eyes, and the cataracts are removed years later, what happens?A. The person remains permanently blind.B. The person gradually recovers all aspects of vision.C. The person gains some vision, but remains impaired on object recognition, motion vision, and depth perception.D. The person gains almost all aspects of vision, but remains greatly impaired on color perception.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is accurate about the maculae of the vestibular apparatus? a. They detect rotational movements of the head. b. They are located in the semicircular canal. c. Nerve signals are generated when the otolithic membrane bends the stereocilia of the hair cells. d. They are the organs of hearing.arrow_forwardPut the following parts of the ear in the order in which sounds waves would pass through them: auditory canal, cochlea, cochlear branch of vestibulocochlear nerve, incus, malleus, oval window, stapes, tympanic membranearrow_forward
