Place the following steps to the vision process in order.
light passes through the pupil
axons send messages from the ganglion cells to the optic nerve
light passes through the cornea
visual cortex in the occipital lobe interprets signals
light is focused by the lens onto the retina
optic nerve carries signals to the brain
photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) convert light into neural impulses and send them to ganglion cells
Group the following parts of the ear into the appropriate categories:
ossicles
semi-circular canals
cochlea
tympanic membrane (ear drum)
auditory canal
pinnae
auditory nerve
Outer Ear
Middle Ear
Inner Ear
Sort the following theories into the appropriate categories:
trichromatic theory
opponent process theory
frequency theory
place theory
Volley theory
Vision Theory
Hearing Theory
Place the following steps of hearing into the correct order.
vibrations cause the ossicles to vibrate
the pinnae collects sound waves
vibrations are passed through the fluid in the cochlea
sound waves vibrate the ear drum
sound waves travel down the auditory canal
hair cells (auditory receptor cells) are stimulated
hair cells transmit neural impulses to auditory nerve
impulses end up in the auditory cortext of the temporal lobe
ossicles (stapes) press against the cochlea
Sort the concepts below into the correct categories.
relative height
retinal disparity
relative size
clarity
convergence
texture gradient
monocular clues
binocular clues
