Parts of the eye and ear
Across
- 2. artificial hearing that stimulates the auditory nerve
- 3. able to see things far away, but not up close
- 5. the hearing theory that claims pitch is processed by a certain place on the cochlear membrane
- 8. carries impulses from eye to brain
- 9. changes shape to focus image
- 11. light sensitive inner surface of eye, has receptor rods and cones
- 14. point where the optic nerve leaves the eyes; no receptors there
- 15. the hearing theory that claims pitch is measured by the frequency of the nerve firing
- 17. chamber between eardrum and cochlea
Down
- 1. face blindness
- 4. outer layer of eyes, covers pupil and iris
- 5. opening that lets light in
- 6. nearsightedness
- 7. type of common hearing loss dealing with cochlea receptors or auditory nerve
- 10. coiled, fluid-filled tube in inner ear
- 11. the retina receptors that see in black and white and peripheral vision
- 12. hearing loss where there is damage to the system that conducts sound to the cochlea
- 13. retina receptors that see colors and function in daylight
- 15. central focal point in retina around eyes cone cluster
- 16. colored muscle tissue around pupil
