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