BEHAVIOR SCIENCES

horizontal and amacrine cells

integrates signals from ganglion cells and sharpens edges

support of eye

vitreous on inside

sclera and choroid on outside

processing vision

parallel processing, magnocellular cells, parvocellular cells

magnocellular cells

motion. high temporal resolution

parvocellular cells

shape, high spatial resolution

retina

rods, cones → bipolar cells → ganglion cells → optic nerve

rods

light/dark;

have rhodopsin

aqueous humor

made by cilary body. nourishes eye and gives eye its shape. drains thru canal of schlemm

auditory pathway

cochlea → vestibulocochlear enrve → medial geniculate nculeus (MGN)

two point threshold in sense

min distance needed b/w 2 points of stimulation on skin such that 2 points = 2 dif stimuli

ideal gas

negligible space

perfect elastic collisions

gases behave ideally uunder reasonably increase temperature and decrease pressure
