Across
- 3. A small but extremely important space occupied by three of the smallest bones in the body
- 4. Coils out from its base near the vestibule, wrapping around itself 2-5/8 times before reaching its apex
- 7. Slowly increase their firing rate through the initial stages of firing
- 12. The receptor organ for movement, being made up of ciliated receptor cells and supporting membrane
- 13. May be seen at the primary reception area, Heschl’s gyrus
- 16. Looks as if it could cover the entrance to the meatus
- 18. There is an initial response to onset of a stimulus, followed by silence
- 19. Resistance to the flow of energy
- 20. Inflammation of the skin of the external ear
Down
- 1. Forms the curled margin of the pinna, marking its most distal borders
- 2. Converts acoustic every into electrochemical energy
- 5. Have a periodic, chopped temporal pattern as long as a tone is present
- 6. The entry way to the cochlea
- 8. Refers to the quality of a neuron wherein it responds to the period of the stimulus
- 9. Serves as a collector of sound be processed at deeper levels
- 10. Includes the malleus, incus, and stapes
- 11. Houses the sensors for balance and hearing
- 14. About 0.5mm from the tympanic membrane
- 15. Forms a slight “U” pattern opened toward the modular side
- 17. The entrance to the ear canal, known as the external auditory meatus
