To review:
Based on the given phrases determine whether it applies to a macula or a crista ampullaris: inside a semicircular canal; contains otoliths; responds to linear acceleration and deceleration; has a cupula; responds to rotational acceleration and deceleration; inside a saccule.
Introduction:
The ear is the organ of hearing. The ear is divided into three major areas: external ear, middle ear, and internal ear. The external and middle ear structures involved with hearing function while internal ear functions in both equilibrium and hearing and have complex organization. Internal ear is also called labyrinth.

- The area in the anterior portion of the temporal lobe that receives input from the olfactory bulb and is often considered to be the primary olfactory cortex is the ______. Question 49 options: parietal cortex entorhinal cortex piriform cortex cerebral cortex Small structures located along the surface of the tongue or mouth that contain the receptor cells for taste are called ______. Question 13 options: taste buds gustatory papillae circumvallate papillae turbinate fibersarrow_forwardwhich 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_forwardPart of vestibular apparatus responsible for maintaining balance during angular acceleration while on swings is : 1.Saccule 2.Crista ampullaris 3.Macula 4.Otolith organarrow_forward
- Using the attached image, Identify the following labels (G, D, B, and C) in the plan diagram of the longitudinal section of the cochlea: Options: 1. Cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerve 2. Cochlear duct 3. Vestibular membrane 4. Scala tympani 5. Organ of Corti 6. Basilar membrane 7. Scala vestibuliarrow_forwardThe fluid that fills the cochlear duct, where the organ of Corti is located, is called____________. which of the following is a proprioceotor? Meissner's corpuscule muscle spindle Ruffini's corpuscule Merkel disc pain receptor Which of the following helps to explain why stimulation of cones results in more acute vision than stimulation of rods? Cones are more sensitive to color than rods are Cones require abundant light in order to be stimulated Rods are very sensitive, and can be stimulated even in very low light, so the signals all bleed together Cones have an almost 1:1 relationship with their axon pathways back to the cortex Cones are highly concentrated in the fovea, and rods are notarrow_forwardUsing the terms below, what is the order of the visual pathway elements in order from eye to cortex? 1) Optic radiations 2) lateral geniculate nucleus 3) Optic tract 4) primary visual cortex (V1)/Striate cortex 5) Optic Nervearrow_forward
- Which of the following relays in the auditory system is the closest to the ear? Select one: a. superior olives b. cochlear nucleus c. inferior colliculus d. medial geniculate nucleus e. primary auditory cortexarrow_forwarda) choose one part of the auditory sensorineural mechanism--the inner ear or retrocochlear auditory pathway--and describe how sound is transduced through that part of the auditory system, and (b) comment on how the anatomy of that part of the ear enables normal auditory sensorineural physiology.arrow_forwardA 61-year-old woman has had difficulty hearing since having a cerebral infarction 1 day ago. Physical examination shows difficulty locating sounds on the right whenthe sound is presented to both ears The most likelv cause is a cerebral infarction involving which of the following structures on the left?A) Inferior temporal gyrusB) Lateral geniculate nucleusC) Medial geniculate nucleusD) Middle temporal gyrusE) Pulvinararrow_forward
