Across
  1. 6. the theoey that we have three different types of photoreceptors, each most sensitive to a different range of wavelengths
  2. 7. essentially a hole in the eye
  3. 8. this is the theory that sound waves of different frequencies make the whole membrane vibrate at different rates
  4. 10. (one ear) this helps us distinguish if sounds are closer or farther away
  5. 15. When there is damage to your nerves or cochlea
  6. 18. The process of bringing information from the outside world into the body
  7. 20. it is located in the optic nerve and has no rods or cones.
  8. 23. when there is blockage or damage to the physical parts of the ear
  9. 24. This acts as a funnel to direct sound waves to the inner ear
Down
  1. 1. The theory that we hear different pitches because different sounds waves trigger different activity.
  2. 2. the theory that we have to types of color opponent cells.
  3. 3. a tone's highness or lowness
  4. 4. The back inner part of your eye that processes visual information
  5. 5. transduction of sounds happens here
  6. 9. This detects black, white and gray colors and allows us to see in dark areas.
  7. 11. Transduction of light occurs here
  8. 12. when energy stimulus is converted into electrical signals that the brain can understand.
  9. 13. This is the colored part of your eye and it fluctuates size to change how much light is funneled into the pupil
  10. 14. The visual stimulus
  11. 16. this is where all the axons from the ganglion cells bind together in the retinaP
  12. 17. this changes shape to help focus images on the retina
  13. 19. the perception of sound in one or both ears without an external source (usually a ringing sound)
  14. 21. these allow us to see in fine detail and in color
  15. 22. (two ears) this helps us figure out which side the sound came from
  16. 23. the protective outer layer that covers the pupil and iris
