Question
Chapter 10, Problem 24RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The generation of nerve impulses through the vibrations of the oval window.
Introduction:
The oval window is found in the middle ear along with three auditory ossicles (bones), namely malleus, incus, and stapes. The oval window captures the sound vibrations from the outer ear and transmits it to the inner ear through a series of structures to reach the basilar membrane that produce nerve impulses.

Unilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic
sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The
explanation for this is:
Auditory information does not reach the cortex
Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere.
Auditory information goes to both hemispheres
How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned?
between bipolar cells and horizontal cells
in the outermost layer of the retina
in the ganglion cell layer
farthest from the pigment epithelium
Which statement about the events of photoreception is false?
a) as a rod cell hyperpolarizes, its release of neurotransmitter increases
b) there is more Na+ entry into a rod cell in the dark than in the light
c) bipolar cells release more neurotransmitter in the light than in the dark
d) as a bipolar cell depolarizes, its release of neurotransmitter increases
e) when a rod cell releases neurotransmitter the bipolar cell it synapses with hyperpolarizes
When light strikes a photoreceptor, it reduces the amount of glutamate that it releases. This releases ___ cells from inhibition, allowing them to release more neurotransmitters and excite ___ cells. This produces action potentials that travel down the optic nerve.
A) horizontal; amacrine
B) amacrine; horizontal
C) ganglion; bipolar
D) bipolar; ganglion

- Inside a recital hall a musician plays a well-known song from the guitar repertoire, to the delight of audience members. A C-major chord is played. Subsequently, the corresponding sound wave, consisting of frequencies 130.8 Hz, 164.8 Hz, and 196 Hz, arrives at a listeners eardrum.

- Ozana was born with cataracts, which made her completely blind. When she was 14 years-old she underwent surgery to remove the cataracts, which allowed visual input to be transmitted to her brain for the first time. However, even though the surgery was a success, Ozana’s vision was never fully functional. A) Describe how the features of neural plasticity might help to explain why Ozana’s vision was not restored. B) Propose one factor that might have increased the chance that Ozana would develop the ability to see, and briefly explain why.arrow_forwardWe discussed three principles with regards to the sensory cortex (mechanisms of perception), with one of them being a hierarchical organization.
