Across
  1. 4. in the current theory for high frequency sounds at the blank of the cochlea, each stiff hair cell acts as a fine tuned receptor that only responds to certain frequency
  2. 5. Cells send messages to ganglion cells, located even closer to the center of the eye
  3. 8. this audio pathway helps us detect certain sounds (anterior temporal cortex)
  4. 9. rear surface of the eye, which is lined with visual receptor cells
  5. 13. a drug that has no pharmacological effects, but often relieves pain due to the power of belief
  6. 16. neurons fire when an object moves relative to its background
  7. 20. Damage to this area reports no conscious vision or visual imagery, even in their dreams
  8. 21. a band of tissue that gives eyes their color
  9. 23. where does the cochlea contain three fluid tunnels, the vibration of the oval window moves the fluid in the cochlea
  10. 26. Which pain is thicker and faster
  11. 28. Is a type of Vitamin A that activates second messengers within the cell used to communicate color to the brain
  12. 29. is the number of compressions per second of a sound, measured in hertz
  13. 31. are small, but are found throughout the retina, some are color sensitive, some are not, they respond best to many types of stimuli
  14. 32. rapid eye movements that detect subtle changes from millisecond to millisecond
  15. 34. people with this cannot identify the person
  16. 36. this deafness is the failure of the bones of the middle ear to transmit sound waves properly to the cochlea
  17. 38. able to see objects but imparied at seeing whether they are moving or if so which direction and how fast
  18. 39. theory: we perceive certain pitches when the entire basilar membrane vibrates in synchrony with a sound causing the axons of the auditory nerve to produce action potentials at the same time
  19. 42. otherwise known as tone deafness
  20. 44. respond to stretching of the skin
  21. 48. respond to temperature and pain
  22. 49. line each receptor responds to only a small range of stimuli (similar to place theory)
  23. 51. What reduces social pain
  24. 52. condition that may result form damage to the inferior temporal cortex, involves inability to recognize objects
  25. 56. have larger receptive fields, they respond best to moving stimuli, evenly dispersed throughout the retina
  26. 57. houses the tympanic membrane (eardrum), hammer, anvil, and stirrup
  27. 59. if you experience "sympathetic pain" it is because of the activity in the blank
  28. 61. the surface of the tongue is covered in blank, small rounded projections
  29. 62. The sensation of the body and its movements, it is not one sense but many includes: touch, pressure, cold/warmth, pain, tickle
  30. 64. cannot discern fine detail, but has better sensitivity to dim light
  31. 66. expectation of harm actually causes feelings of pain, discomfort, or sickness
  32. 68. this means self created, ex. Endorphins
Down
  1. 1. an opening in the center of the eye in which light enters
  2. 2. Structures located within the grooves of the papillae
  3. 3. this audio pathway helps us determine where sounds originate in our environment (posterior temporal cortex and parietal cortex)
  4. 5. the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, because it has no visual receptors
  5. 6. in the current theory for low frequency sounds, the blank of the basilar membrane vibrates in synchrony with the sound wave
  6. 7. A protein substance that causes inflammation
  7. 10. there is a small area on the retina that aids in detailed vision processing
  8. 11. pupil is focused(adjustable) by the
  9. 12. The hammer, anvil, and stirrup of the middle ear convert sound waves from the tympanic membrane into forceful blank
  10. 14. the pupil is not focused (adjustable) by the
  11. 15. Mild pain causes the release of the neurotransmitter blank in the spinal cord
  12. 17. detect speed, acceleration, and deceleration
  13. 18. respond to light touch
  14. 19. according to this theory, it is possible to "flood" the spinal cord with sensory information to decrease the perception of pain
  15. 22. frequent or constant ringing in the ear, often produced by nerve deafness
  16. 24. Axons of ganglion cells join together and form the blank, which extends to the brain
  17. 25. is the perception of the intensity of a sound wave
  18. 27. created artificially, ex. Opinoids
  19. 28. detects sudden displacements or high frequency vibrations on the skin
  20. 30. theory like keys on a piano, each area along the basilar membrane of the cochlea can only respond to a specific frequency
  21. 33. cells send inhibitory messages onto bipolar cells
  22. 35. the optic nerve sends information from the right eye to the left hemisphere and vice versa
  23. 37. MST respond only when the whole visual scene expands, contracts, or rotates
  24. 40. they are involved in both peripheral and night vision, found in retina
  25. 41. "what" pathway for vision
  26. 43. Strong pain causes the release of both glutamate and blank a neuropeptide
  27. 45. a structure of flesh and cartilage attached to the side of the head
  28. 46. have small receptive fields, they respond best to visual details & color, located in or near the fovea
  29. 47. detects the direction of tilt and amount of acceleration of the head
  30. 50. "where" pathway for vision
  31. 53. what is the auditory cortex of the temporal lobe, auditory information is processed here, responds to the base of the basilar membrane, specific tones excite specific neurons
