Concept explainers
To discuss:
The reason why the vestibular system is not senses the motion of the head and it involves only the changes in the rate of motion.
Introduction:
The ear is a hearing organ for a sound response that comes from the vibration of air molecules, and their equilibrium comes from the movement, orientation, and balance of the body. These two senses come from the inner ear containing the sensory cells. Semicircular duct helps to detect the rotary movements such as chair rotation, walk around the corner or bend to take something from the down floor. It holds by the bony semicircular canals of the temporal bone.

- This question related to the topic of the brain There are several methods of treatment that are intended to correct some abnormalities that may occur as a result of injury, deficit, or other forms of disruption. So how does the neuron works, and how the brain and sensory systems communicate. If one were to choose a treatment, how would that particular treatment correct the issue? Some examples would be the spinal cord stimulator or the cochlear implant.arrow_forwardA sensory receptor responds when activated, and an electric signal is generated and travels through nerve fibers to the _______ to be analyzed.arrow_forwardgaluon, and the regulation of homeostasis. The occipital lobe is the most posterior of the lobes and is separated from the parietal lobe somewhat arbitrarily by a line that runs from the parieto-occipital sulcus to the occipital notch. The occipital lobe is involved in many levels of visual processing. Lobes of the Brain- 2. lateral view 1. 3. -5. -6. 10. 7. 9. 8. IL IMIarrow_forward
