Across
- 6. bony tube that contains fluids as well as neurons that move in response to the vibrations of the fluids
- 9. sensory receptors located around the roots of hair cells fire where the skin is touched
- 11. neural impulses are transmitted to the brain
- 12. difficulty perceiving sounds of certain frequencies caused by moderate or severe damage to the inner ear
- 13. originates at the point of contact and then is sent to the spinal cord, thalamus, and cerebral cortex
- 14. simulation of the sensory receptors and the transmission of the information to the central nervous system
- 15. occurs because of damage to the inner ear
Down
- 1. without sensory stimulation
- 2. frequency or number of cycles per minute in a sound wave (high or low sound is)
- 3. smallest amount of stimuli which we are able to interpret
- 4. neurons beneath the skin that fire warm when your hot and fire cool when your cold
- 5. only a certain amount of information can be processed by the nervous system at a time
- 7. determined by the height, or amplitude,of sound waves
- 8. units for loudness
- 10. psychological process through which we interpret sensory stimulation
