Across
- 2. the entrance to the ear canal
- 4. these take longer to respond than other neurons and have an initial on-response for strong stimuli
- 8. the firing patterns that most resemble VIII nerve patterns
- 10. what we usually refer to as the ear
- 11. the ability of the cochlea to differentiate the spectral components of a signal
- 12. responses that do not appear related to stimulus frequency but have a periodic pattern as long as a tone is present
- 13. forms the floor of the scala media and separates the scala media and scala tympani
- 15. the largest of the ossicles that provides the point of attachment with the tympanic membrane
- 16. embedded in the petrous portion of the temporal bone and houses the inner ear structures
- 17. this muscle rotates the stapes posteriorly and is innervated by the facial nerve
- 18. this muscle pulls the malleus anteromedially and is innervated by the trigeminal nerve
Down
- 1. the smallest of the ossicles
- 2. the receptor organ for movement that is made up of of ciliated receptor cells and a supporting membrane
- 3. a composite of the responses of a single fiber at each frequency of presentation
- 5. the resistance to the flow of energy
- 6. marks the boundary between the outer and middle ear
- 7. this point of the basilar membrane determines the frequency information transmitted to the brain
- 9. the entryway to the cochlea
- 14. permits communication between between the scala vestibuli and the middle ear space
- 19. voltage potential differences that can be measured from the cochlea at rest
