  17. 29. Expectation of harm that actually causes feelings of pain, discomfort, or sickness
  18. 32. One of the bones attached to the eardrum which transmits vibrations to the oval window
  19. 33. The “where” pathway for vision that originates from V2 and extends to the parietal lobe
  20. 35. intensity of a sound wave
  21. 36. Number of compressions per second of sound measured in Hertz
Down
  1. 1. Neurotransmitter released after mild pain

  4. 8. Inability to recognize people’s faces
  5. 9. Holds receptors that are specialized to respond only to pheromones
  6. 11. Inability to recognize or see the whole form of objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision
  7. 12. The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye because it has no visual receptors
  8. 14. Idea that states it is possible to flood the spinal cord with sensory information to decrease the perception of pain
  9. 21. Neurons with larger receptive fields evenly dispersed through the retina that best respond to moving stimuli
  10. 23. Theory that states each area along the basilar membrane of the cochlea only respond to a specific frequency
  11. 24. Protein substance that causes inflammation, which also magnifies response to nearby heat and pain receptors
  12. 27. Theory that states we perceive color in terms of paired opposites
  13. 30. Area of the retina that aids in detailed vision processing
  14. 31. Receptor cells that are involved with visual detail and color vision
  15. 34. Principle that states the receptors of the sensory system respond only to a small range of stimuli
