LESSON 9: 20 QUESTIONS REVIEWER

Hearing

Which sense is primarily responsible for detecting sound waves and enabling hearing?

Tarsus (ankle)

Which of the following is NOT one of the three small bones in the human ear responsible for transmitting sound vibrations?

Helix

It is somewhat thicker, and its fleshy, dangling lobule “earlobe” lacks supporting cartilage.

Complexity of Smell Research

It consists of numerous chemicals, referred to as odorants and each of them contributes to make it a challenging studre.

Cochlea

is a fluid-filled, spiral-shaped cavity found in the inner ear that plays a vital role in the sense of hearing and participates in the process of auditory transduction. Sound waves are transduced into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret as individual sound frequencies.

Rods

It is used in dim light and peripheral vision, and more sensitive to light but doesn't give sharp images color.

The mastoid antrum

is a canal in the posterior wall of the tympanic cavity. 

Smell

Which sense is primarily responsible for detecting chemicals in the environment?

Lens

What is the name of the transparent structure in the eye that focuses light onto the retina?

Sensing light and enabling vision in low-light conditions.

What is the primary function of the rods and cones in the retina?

Vestibular apparatus

What is the name of the structure in the inner ear responsible for detecting changes in head position and movement?

 Eyelids

Also known as palpebral

Retina

It is the innermost layer of the eyeball

Cones

Which photoreceptor cells in the retina are primarily responsible for vision in bright light conditions?

Malleus (hammer)

Is like a doorway between two parts of the ear. It helps pass vibrations from the middle ear to the inner ear, which is important for us to hear things.

Cornea

What is the transparent, dome-shaped structure that covers the front part of the eye called?

Hair cells

Which specialized cells in the inner ear are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain?

Conjunctiva

A constructive mucous membrane it lines the eyelid as the palberal conjunctiva

Pigmented layer

A single-cell-thick layer next to the choroid, covering the ciliary body and posterior iris.
