1
Cochlea
________ is damaged- repeated bending /folding of the hair cells can cause them to break via overstimulation.
New cards
2
DTI
________:: more axonal connections in a normal person vs someone who is (legitamately) tone deaf.
New cards
3
neurons
Selective:: ________ at the front of the cochlea die which is where the amplitude comes in the harshest.
New cards
4
Tinnitus
________:: ringing in the ears (like phantom limb pain)
New cards
5
Primary auditory cortex
________:: inner portion of the temporal lobe.
New cards
6
Nerve deafness
________:: abnormality w /in the inner ear.
New cards
7
noise protection
Effects: ________, enhancing signal to noise ration, signal amplification, selective attention, adaptation to sound.
New cards
8
Pitch
________:: the psychological perception of frequency (increased freq= increased ________)
New cards
9
Inner hair cells
________ have potassium channels- when the tectorial membrane bends hair cell backwards, channel pops.
New cards
10
Amplitude
________:: intensity of a sound wave, loudness is psychological perception of intensity.
New cards
11
Amplitude
intensity of a sound wave, loudness is psychological perception of intensity
New cards
12
Frequency
of compressions per second, measured in hertz (Hz)
New cards
13
Pitch
the psychological perception of frequency (increased freq = increased pitch)
New cards
14
External ear → ear canal → eardrum
tympanic membrane; flexible, semi-opaque, delicate
New cards
15
3 ear ossicles
hammer, anvil, stirrup
New cards
16
Fluid inside the cochlea
movement (sound) causes waves of fluid
New cards
17
Coding of neuronal info in the scala media
scala tympani has the basilar membrane which will be pushed up by the waves of fluid; scala vestibuli also has waves of fluid (will change the most, amplitude of the wave will be biggest here after oval window)
New cards
18
Inner hair cells have potassium channels
when the tectorial membrane bends hair cell backwards, channel pops
New cards
19
Outer hair cells (3 distinct rows of hairs)
release ACh after an input of GABA
New cards
20
Inner hair cells (1 distinct row of hairs)
glutamatergic and depolarize the cochlear nerve
New cards
21
Effects
noise protection, enhancing signal to noise ration, signal amplification, selective attention, adaptation to sound
New cards
22
Inferior colliculus
peripheral sound perception (midbrain)
New cards
23
Medial geniculate nucleus
thalamus
New cards
24
Primary auditory cortex
inner portion of the temporal lobe
New cards
25
DTI
more axonal connections in a normal person vs someone who is (legitamately) tone deaf
New cards
26
Conduction deafness
abnormality w/in the middle ear
New cards
27
Nerve deafness
abnormality w/in the inner ear
New cards
28
Cochlea is damaged
repeated bending/folding of the hair cells can cause them to break via overstimulation
New cards
29
Selective
neurons at the front of the cochlea die which is where the amplitude comes in the harshest
New cards
30
Damage could come from a repeated stimulation at a specific frequency (ex
jackhammer)
New cards
31
Complete
born deaf, no hair cells at all
New cards
32
Tinnitus
ringing in the ears (like phantom limb pain)
New cards
33
Central deafness
deaf in the brain, extremely rare
New cards
34
3 semicircular canals w/a jellylike substance and otoliths
almost like bone chip fragments
New cards
35
Sit in different planes
helps us understand 3D space
New cards
36
Guides our eyes and helps us maintain our balance
detects the position and movement of the head
