1. Grudge
Modules 12 – 15

2. Grudge Rules We will split into 4/5 teams.
Each group will be given 10 X’s.
Your group will be given a question. Answer it right and you get to erase two X’s from other groups.
If you lose all of your X’s, your group is eliminated.

20. Colored ring of muscle, constricts or dilates depending on the amount of light.
Iris

21. This theory of pain states that messages must pass through the spinal cord to reach the brain.
Gate-Control Theory

22. These are 3 fluid filled bony channels in the inner ear that help maintain balance.

24. The ability to focus on one voice in a room full of people.
Cocktail Party Effect

25. The highness or lowness of a sound.
Pitch

26. Brightness of light
Intensity

27. We become dizzy if the fluids in this part of our ear have not returned to normal.
Semicircular Canals

28. The amplitude of a sound wave determines this.
Loudness

29. The distance from one wave peak to the next.
Wavelength

30. Shorter wavelengths produce __________ frequencies.
Higher

31. Opponent-Process Theory
This theory states that opposing retinal processes enable color vision. Red & Green, Yellow & Blue, White & Black.
Opponent-Process Theory

32. Laser eye surgery in which a flap is cut into the cornea to access the tissue behind it.
LASIK

33. These are measuring units for sound energy.

35. The study of how physical stimuli are translated into psychological experience.
Psychophysics

36. Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami
The five basic taste sensations are:
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami

37. These receptors detects color and allows you to see in bright light.
Cones

38. Transformation of stimulus energy (light, sound, etc
Transformation of stimulus energy (light, sound, etc.) to neural impulses our brains can interpret.
Transduction

39. Taste receptors reproduce this often.
Every week or two

40. The region of the ear that contains the semicircular canals.
Inner Ear

41. These are chemicals released by animals to attract other animals.

42. Vibrations on this part of the cochlea causes movement of the fluids inside.
Oval Window

43. Point in your retina where there are no receptor cells.

Hair Cells

45. Images the briefly appear after the actual image is removed.
Afterimages

46. Focuses the light rays onto the retina.
Lens

47. Theory in which we hear different pitches because different sound waves trigger activity at different places in the cochlea.
Place Theory

48. This is what our body does with the information we sense.
Perception

49. Theory in which we sense pitch at the same rate as the sound entering the basilar membrane.
Frequency Theory

50. These receptors detect black, white, and gray
These receptors detect black, white, and gray. They also allow you to see in low light.
Rods

51. This is the tight membrane at the end of the auditory canal that vibrates.
Eardrum

52. Diminished sensitivity because of constant stimulation
Diminished sensitivity because of constant stimulation. If I put a band aid on, after a while I don’t feel it.
