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