- What is the function of the vestibulocochlear nerve?arrow_forwardExplain the process from Cochlea to the Auditory Cortex ?arrow_forwarda) Consider a patient who has been exposed to an ototoxic drug that has caused the death of the outer hair cells in the cochlea but has left the inner hair cells unaffected. What sort of hearing loss is the person likely to experience and what sort of hearing device could assist them? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear functions. b) Consider a person who has a partial loss of myelin in their auditory nerve. What effect would the loss of myelin have upon the ability of this person to perceive speech and would either a hearing aid or cochlear implant provide any benefit to their hearing ability? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear and auditory pathway function. I c) Explain the difference in information that can be provided by a cochlear implant consisting of a single electrode compared to a cochlear implant with many electrodes. What type of neural code is provided in each case? What type of musical sounds could be well…arrow_forward
- Why Are Hearing and Other Sensory orCommunication Processes Important?arrow_forwardRegarding auditory physiology, what is the mechanism that generates an action potential and release of neurotransmitter substance? a) pressure waves on cells in the vestibular membrane b) movement of the membrane covering the round window c) movement of the hair cells of the coil member towards the tectorial membrane d) movement of cells in the basement membrane towards the cochleaarrow_forwarda) choose one part of the auditory sensorineural mechanism--the inner ear or retrocochlear auditory pathway--and describe how sound is transduced through that part of the auditory system, and (b) comment on how the anatomy of that part of the ear enables normal auditory sensorineural physiology.arrow_forward
- What are the subdivisions of the auditory system?arrow_forwardThe features labeled A, B and C refer to, in order, to the O tympanic duct, cochlear duct, macula vestibular duct, cochlear duct, tympanic duct vestibular duct, tympanic duct, cochlear duct tympanic duct, vestibular duct, utriclearrow_forwardIn what way does the process of hearing illustrate the general principle of physiology that physiological processes require the transfer and balance of matter and energy?arrow_forward
- How are sound waves transmitted from the auricle to the spiral organ?arrow_forwardUnilateral 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 epitheliumarrow_forwardExplain how sounds of different intensities affect the function of the cochlea. How are different pitches of sounds distinguished by the cochlea?arrow_forward
