Across
  1. 2. Nerve- Sends neural messages to the auditory Cortex
  2. 4. Transmits vibrates from the hammer to the stapes
  3. 8. - "Piston" in the inner ear
  4. 9. Membrane that vibrates sound
  5. 11. Canal- The Outer ear channels sound through this
  6. 12. hearing loss- Caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to cochlea
  7. 14. Conducts sound vibrations to the inner ear
  8. 15. theory- The Brain reads pitch by monitoring the frequency of neural impulses traveling up the auditory area
Down
  1. 1. Transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the anvil
  2. 3. how often a wave occurs
  3. 5. Hearing Loss- Caused by damage to cochlear receptor cells or auditory neurons.
  4. 6. Implant- a device that converts sound into electrical signals to stimulate the auditory nerve
  5. 7. Converting sound waves into electrical signals that are processed by the brain
  6. 10. Repetition of sound waves that make it quiet or loud
  7. 13. Principle- Groups of neurons of the auditory system respond by firing action potentials, slightly off of each other, so a greater frequency can be encoded when put together
