Across
  1. 4. Number of compressions per second of sound measured in Hertz
  2. 6. Inability to recognize people’s faces
  3. 8. Theory that states each area along the basilar membrane of the cochlea only respond to a specific frequency
  4. 9. The “what” pathway for vision that originates from V2 and extends to the temporal lobe
  5. 10. Protein substance that causes inflammation, which also magnifies response to nearby heat and pain receptors
  6. 11. Receptor cells that are involved with visual detail and color vision
  7. 14. Receptor cells that are involved with peripheral and night vision
  8. 15. Sharpens contrasts to emphasize the borders of objects
  9. 18. Expectation of harm that actually causes feelings of pain, discomfort, or sickness
  10. 19. Theory that states we perceive color in terms of paired opposites
  11. 21. Inability to recognize or see the whole form of objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision
  12. 22. Perception of the frequency of a sound wave related to how frequently nerves fire
  13. 23. Principle that states the receptors of the sensory system respond to a wide range of stimuli and contribute to the perception of each of them
  14. 24. Anatomy of the eye in which light enters
  15. 25. Adjustable anatomy of the eye that helps the pupil focus on objects of various distances
  16. 26. Area of the retina that aids in detailed vision processing
  17. 27. The “where” pathway for vision that originates from V2 and extends to the parietal lobe
  18. 29. Neuropeptide released after strong pain

  3. 3. Structure of the auditory system of flesh and cartilage attached to the side of the head
  4. 5. Idea that states it is possible to flood the spinal cord with sensory information to decrease the perception of pain
  5. 6. Chemicals released by an animal that affect the behavior of other members of the same species, especially sexually
  6. 7. Made up of axons of ganglion cells joining together
  7. 12. Neurons with larger receptive fields evenly dispersed through the retina that best respond to moving stimuli
  8. 13. Holds receptors that are specialized to respond only to pheromones
  9. 16. Principle that states the receptors of the sensory system respond only to a small range of stimuli
  10. 17. Send inhibitory messages which stop the retina from sending unnecessary messages to the brain
  11. 20. Highest sensitivity to all tastes due to large number of papillae near the tip of the tongue
  12. 28. intensity of a sound wave
  13. 30. The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye because it has no visual receptors
  14. 31. Anatomy of the eye that helps the pupil focus that is not adjustable
  15. 33. Frequent/constant ringing in the ear often produced by nerve deafness
