Across
  1. 3. Anatomy of the eye in which light enters
  2. 7. Inability to recognize or see the whole form of objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision
  3. 8. Protein substance that causes inflammation, which also magnifies response to nearby heat and pain receptors
  4. 9. Highest sensitivity to all tastes due to large number of papillae near the tip of the tongue
  5. 11. The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye because it has no visual receptors
  6. 17. Sharpens contrasts to emphasize the borders of objects
  7. 18. Expectation of harm that actually causes feelings of pain, discomfort, or sickness
  8. 19. Frequent/constant ringing in the ear often produced by nerve deafness
  9. 20. Receptor cells that are involved with peripheral and night vision
  10. 21. Perception of the frequency of a sound wave related to how frequently nerves fire
  11. 24. Principle that states the receptors of the sensory system respond only to a small range of stimuli
  12. 25. Theory that states we perceive color in terms of paired opposites
  13. 26. 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

  1. 1. Perception of amplitude determined by the number of firing cells
  2. 2. Theory that states each area along the basilar membrane of the cochlea only respond to a specific frequency
  3. 4. Neurons with larger receptive fields evenly dispersed through the retina that best respond to moving stimuli
  4. 5. Tone deafness
  5. 6. Anatomy of the eye that helps the pupil focus that is not adjustable

  16. 33. Neurotransmitter released after mild pain
  17. 35. Adjustable anatomy of the eye that helps the pupil focus on objects of various distances
