Required

3

Place the following steps to the vision process in order.

optic nerve carries signals to the brain
light passes through the pupil
light is focused by the lens onto the retina
photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) convert light into neural impulses and send them to ganglion cells
axons send messages from the ganglion cells to the optic nerve
visual cortex in the occipital lobe interprets signals
light passes through the cornea

cochlea
ossicles
semi-circular canals
pinnae
auditory nerve
tympanic membrane (ear drum)
auditory canal

Outer Ear
Middle Ear
Inner Ear

place theory
trichromatic theory
frequency theory
Volley theory

Vision Theory
Hearing Theory

Required

3

Place the following steps of hearing into the correct order.

the pinnae collects sound waves
hair cells transmit neural impulses to auditory nerve
hair cells (auditory receptor cells) are stimulated
sound waves travel down the auditory canal
impulses end up in the auditory cortext of the temporal lobe
sound waves vibrate the ear drum
vibrations cause the ossicles to vibrate
vibrations are passed through the fluid in the cochlea
ossicles (stapes) press against the cochlea
