Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 19RQ
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a disorder where some of the calcium carbonate crystals in the utricle migrate into the semicircular canals. Why does this condition cause periods of dizziness?
- The hair cells in the semicircular canals will be constantly activated
- The hair cells in the semicircular canals will now be stimulated by gravity
- The utricle will no longer recognize acceleration
- There will be too much volume in the semicircular canals for them to detect motion.

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
The volley theory of auditory information transfer is:
When hair cells follow the waveform of stimulating sinusoids > 3 kHz
Dependent on the organization of the basilar membrane
Responsive with an AC component to low frequency tones
An extraordinarily slow process
Which of the following statements concerning photoreceptors is not correct ?
cones produce colored images whereas rhods don't
cones contain rhodopsin
cones are less sensitive to light
cones produce clear images
Brown-Sequard syndrome is characterized by all the following, except :-a- loss of vibration sense on the opposite side below level of the lesionb- loss of voluntary movements on the same side below the level of the lesionc- loss of reflex movements on the same side at the level of the lesiond- loss of pain sensation on the opposite side below the level of the lesion

- Linear acceleration, such as the forward movement of being in a car, will result in Depolarization or hyperpolarization of hair cells within the utricle and saccule. Tonic release of neurotransmitters in the cochlea. Depolarization of hair cells within the semicircular canals. two of the above are correctarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the eye is/are TRUE? Group of answer choices Parasympathetic (sympathetic) innervation of the sphincter pupillae stimulates pupil dilation. Photoreceptors in the retina are of two types: rods and cones. Eye color is determined by that of the iris. A. Light striking the fovea centralis goes unnoticed and is commonly called the "blind spot". B. Light entering the eye passes through the cornea, anterior chamber, pupil, lens, and vitreous body, from outer to inner.(posterior only) C. Movement of the extrinsic muscles of the eye is controlled by the autonomic (optic nerve) nervous system. D. Because lacrimal fluid ultimately enters into the nasal cavity, people often sniffle when they cry. F. The adjustability of the lens allows the eye to focus on nearby objects.arrow_forwardAll sensory organs convert energy in the environment into action potentials in the nervous systern. Explain the process of how our ears convert energy in the form of sound waves in the air into action potentials along a nerve. Include the appropriate order of structures and regions of the ear as well as the physiological process of creating action potentials and interpreting them in the brain.arrow_forward

Meissner's corpuscule muscle spindle Ruffini's corpuscule Merkel disc pain receptor Which of the following helps to explain why stimulation of cones results in more acute vision than stimulation of rods? Cones are more sensitive to color than rods are Cones require abundant light in order to be stimulated Rods are very sensitive, and can be stimulated even in very low light, so the signals all bleed together Cones have an almost 1:1 relationship with their axon pathways back to the cortex Cones are highly concentrated in the fovea, and rods are notarrow_forward

I understand the concept that when stereocilia beats toward the kinocilia, the tiplings will open and cause K and Ca to enter the cell. But I'm so confused on how to know what movements exactly make the stereocilia beat toward the kinocilia and not against it?arrow_forwardIdentify, in correct order, of sensation to perception, the major connections of the pathway underlying fine touch, and pressure. afferent axons decussate at medulla primary somatosensory cortex activated somatosensory humunculus according to where on body touch was felt free nerve endings depolarize dendrites of peripheral afferents axons in the medial lemniscus terminate in the ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus axons of afferents enter into dorsal horn of spinal cord and ascend ipsilaterallyarrow_forward
