Across
- 4. Number of compressions per second of sound measured in Hertz
- 6. Inability to recognize people’s faces
- 8. Theory that states each area along the basilar membrane of the cochlea only respond to a specific frequency
- 9. The “what” pathway for vision that originates from V2 and extends to the temporal lobe
- 10. Protein substance that causes inflammation, which also magnifies response to nearby heat and pain receptors
- 11. Receptor cells that are involved with visual detail and color vision
- 14. Receptor cells that are involved with peripheral and night vision
- 15. Sharpens contrasts to emphasize the borders of objects
- 18. Expectation of harm that actually causes feelings of pain, discomfort, or sickness
- 19. Theory that states we perceive color in terms of paired opposites
- 21. Inability to recognize or see the whole form of objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision
- 22. Perception of the frequency of a sound wave related to how frequently nerves fire
- 23. Principle that states the receptors of the sensory system respond to a wide range of stimuli and contribute to the perception of each of them
- 24. Anatomy of the eye in which light enters
- 25. Adjustable anatomy of the eye that helps the pupil focus on objects of various distances
- 26. Area of the retina that aids in detailed vision processing
- 27. The “where” pathway for vision that originates from V2 and extends to the parietal lobe
- 29. Neuropeptide released after strong pain
- 32. Neurotransmitter released after mild pain
- 34. Tone deafness
- 35. Perception of amplitude determined by the number of firing cells
Down
- 1. One of the bones attached to the eardrum which transmits vibrations to the oval window
- 2. Responsible for detecting the direction of tilt and amount of acceleration of the head
- 3. Structure of the auditory system of flesh and cartilage attached to the side of the head
- 5. Idea that states it is possible to flood the spinal cord with sensory information to decrease the perception of pain
- 6. Chemicals released by an animal that affect the behavior of other members of the same species, especially sexually
- 7. Made up of axons of ganglion cells joining together
- 12. Neurons with larger receptive fields evenly dispersed through the retina that best respond to moving stimuli
- 13. Holds receptors that are specialized to respond only to pheromones
- 16. Principle that states the receptors of the sensory system respond only to a small range of stimuli
- 17. Send inhibitory messages which stop the retina from sending unnecessary messages to the brain
- 20. Highest sensitivity to all tastes due to large number of papillae near the tip of the tongue
- 28. intensity of a sound wave
- 30. The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye because it has no visual receptors
- 31. Anatomy of the eye that helps the pupil focus that is not adjustable
- 33. Frequent/constant ringing in the ear often produced by nerve deafness
