Define the term presbyopy?
Explain why a person may experience the sensation of “ear popping” soon after riding an elevator from the 1st floor to the 33rd floor of a tall building. Make sure you discuss how and why the shape of the eardrum changes during the ascent and what then happens to cause “ear popping.” Your answer should briefly touch on the physiology of ear popping.
Could a person experience “ear popping” soon after riding an elevator down from the 33rdto the 1st floor? Why or why not.

A. orange part in spiral area (labels 11 and 12)
B. Left hand side in Pink (labels 1-10)

- How does the function of the semicircular ducts differ fromthe function of the saccule and utricle?arrow_forwardEpisode 3 Right before the appointment, Tina noticed that she is suffering from intense double vision when looking to objects. The double vision was less intense when looking forward, and her vision when looking left was unaffected. Her husband noticed that her right eye appeared to be turned slightly inward when she looked straight ahead. A day later, Tina noticed that the vision in her left eye started to blur. The neurologist later suggested that the two visual problems she was experiencing were related. The double vision when looking right was found to be caused by cranial nerve palsy—a form of muscle paralysis caused by a dysfunction in one of the cranial nerves. The problem with the left eye was diagnosed as optic neuritis (inflammation). Both of these signs and symptoms, along with the previous episodes, pointed to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). The neurologist prescribed oral steroids and ordered an MRI. As with her previous episodes, Tina’s visual symptoms began to…arrow_forwardOtitis media is a very common ear infection that children tend to suffer from.

- Where does the bunde of ganglion axons that forms the optic nerve exit the eye?arrow_forwardTinnitus produces a ringing sound in the ear, although no external sound is actually present. It is a symptom that manifests from various underlying conditions of the ear. One condition that leads to tinnitus is earwax impaction. Many individuals use cotton swabs to clean the auditory canal daily. Instead of removing the earwax, cotton swabs tend to push the earwax farther into the auditory canal, causing the earwax to accumulate in the ear. This may result in tinnitus and decreased ability to hear. Earwax impaction in the auditory canal will Select one: a. lead to the loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti b. lead to perception deafness c. damage the ossicles d. lead to conduction deafnessarrow_forwardHow is the cochlear nerve formed?arrow_forward
- Unilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epitheliumarrow_forwardthe sound of a vibrating tuning fork is perceived longer when the stern of the fork is placed against the mastoid process of the temporal bone than when the lines are placed near the patient's ear. This finding is compatible with damage to which of the following structures ? A) cochlea B) cochlear nucleus C) ossicles D) primary auditory cortex E) vestibulocochlear nervearrow_forwardOne of the mechanisms that the auditory system uses to localize sound is referred to as interaural time difference (ITD). Where in the brain does this takes place and explain how this mechanism would enable you to localize a sound coming from your left side.arrow_forward
