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