Receptor 100 Components of the auditory system are distributed in these locations. What are the outer, middle and inner ear? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Receptor 200 This is the mechanical stimulus that changes the discharge frequency from auditory receptors. What is the bending of a hair cell? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Receptor 300 Auditory receptors are located in this portion of the membranous labyrinth. What is the cochlea? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Receptor 400 This organ houses the auditory receptor. What is the organ of Corti? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Receptor 500 The organ of Corti is located in this cochlear duct. What is the scala media? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Physiology 100 The auricle is designed to achieve this function in the auditory system. What is collect pressure waves from the environment? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

The external auditory meatus is designed to achieve these functions in the auditory system. Physiology 200 What are focus and amplify pressure waves from the environment onto the tympanic membrane? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Pressure waves in the environment are converted into fluid waves inside the inner ear by these structures. Physiology 300 Where are the ossicles? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Fluid waves inside the cochlea cause movement of this structure which in turn causes the bending of hair cells. Physiology 400 What is the basilar membrane? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Physiology 500 The accuracy of the sound transmitted from the outer ear to the inner ear (fidelity) is regulated by this mechanism. What is variable stiffness of the ossicles regulated by tension in the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Central Pathway 100 The cell bodies of first-order neurons comprise this ganglion. What is the spiral ganglion? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Central Pathway 200 Auditory information travels to the brain via this cranial nerve. What is the vestibulo-cochlear nerve (CN VIII) ? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Central Pathway 300 The central pathway of the auditory system is organized as this type of projection system. What is a bilateral projection system? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Central Pathway 400 Auditory information destined for the cortex projects via this thalamic relay. What is the medial geniculate nucleus? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Central Pathway 500 The variable stiffness of the basilar membrane is the origin of this type of organization found throughout the central pathway of the auditory system. What is tonotopic organization? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous I 100 The primary auditory cortex is located here. Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board What is the superior temporal gyrus on the inferior bank of the lateral fissure?

Miscellaneous I 200 The ossicles consist of these three bones. What are the Maleus (hammer), Incus (anvil) and Stapes (stirrup)? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous I 300 Pressure waves in the environment cause movement of the ossicles by moving this structure. What is tympanic membrane? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous I 400 This flexible membrane helps to prevent the force of propagating fluid waves from damaging the cochlea. Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board What is the round window?

Miscellaneous I 500 This is the means by which sound is localized. What is auditory control centers comparing the arrival time of information from the two ears? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous II 100 This structure captures electromagnetic waves of pressure propagating in the environment. What is the auricle? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous II 200 These flexible membranes form the boundaries of the middle ear. What are the tympanic membrane and oval window? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous II 300 This is the arrangement of hair cells in the organ of Corti. What is inner and outer? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous II 400 Damage to the structures of the external or middle ear may result in this type of deafness. What is conduction deafness? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous II 500 Damage to the structures of the inner ear (organ of Corti or the cochlear nerve) may result in this type of deafness. What is nerve (sensorineural) deafness? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board
