Across
- 2. The entrance to the ear canal
- 3. Excitation of the inner hair cells occurs primarily as a result of this effect on the cilia
- 4. The rate of firing increases because this increases
- 9. Houses the sensors for balance and hearing
- 11. Resistance to the flow of energy
- 12. This receives bilateral innervation from the LSO, as well as indirect input from the CN via the lateral lemniscus
- 15. A device used to view cavities of the body
- 16. The bones of the ear are collectively known as this
- 17. In this type of response, there is an initial response to the start of a stimulus followed by silence
- 18. The curled margin of the pinna
Down
- 1. Inflammation of the mastoid bone
- 2. This type of response does not seem to be related to stimulus frequency, but appear to have a periodic, chopped temporal pattern as long as a tone is present
- 5. This marks the boundary between the outer and middle ear
- 6. This separates the outer and inner hair cells
- 7. This is lateral to the belt and makes up the third level of processing of the input auditory signal at the reception area
- 8. These take longer to respond than other neurons, having an initial on-response for strong stimuli
- 10. This receives input primarily from the contralateral ear via the ipsilateral MGB
- 13. This area that reflects the lights of an audiologist’s otoscope
- 14. These neurons slowly increase their firing rate through the initial stages of firing
- 15. The “stirrup;” one of the bones of the ear
