Term
The receptors for both Auditory + Vestibular are located in the temporal bone, in a convoluted chamber called the
Definition
bony labyrinth.
Term
a bone called the s? vibrates in response to vibrations of the eardrum
Definition
stapes
Term
oval window opens into a large central area within inner ear called the
Definition
vestibule
Term
The membranous labyrinth is filled with a special fluid called
Definition
endolymph (rem LEndo)
Term
space BETWEEN membranous and bony labyrinths is filled with ?, which is very much like normal cerebral spinal fluid
Definition
perilymph
Term
The transduction of sound into a neural signal occurs in the
Definition
cochlea
Term
cranial nerve ? transmits sound from organ of corti
Definition
8
Term
The auditory ? cells sit within the organ of Corti
Definition
hair
Term
in response to sound, the stapes ossicle hits the ?
Definition
oval window
Term
3 compartments of cochlea, are called
Definition
scalae vestibuli, tympani + scala media
Term
type of sensory receptors that hair cells in organ of corti are =
Definition
mechanorecptors
Term
the compartment that the organ of Corti is in =
Definition
scala media
Term
the 2 types of hair cells are ? and ? hair cells
Definition
inner outer
Term
inner hair cells are embedded in a membrane called the
Definition
tectorial membrane
Term
hair cells arise from the
Definition
basilar membrane
Term
base of cochlea vibrates to ? frequencies
Definition
high
Term
apex of cochlea vibrates to ? frequencies
Definition
low
Term
auditory nerve carries signal into brainstem +synapses in ? ?
Definition
cochlear nucleus
Term
From the cochlear nucleus, auditory information is split into at least ? streams
Definition
two
Term
Ventral cochlea nucleus stream is concerned with ? of sound
Definition
direction rem VD
Term
Dorsal cochlea nucleus stream is concerned with ? of sound
Definition
quality
Term
ventral cochlear nucleus cells project to a collection of nuclei =
Definition
superior olive
Term
superior olive then projects up to the
Definition
inferior colliculus
Term
the projections to inferior coliculus is via a fiber tract called the
Definition
lateral lemniscus
Term
From inferior colliculus, both auditory streams of info proceed to sensory
Definition
thalamus
Term
The auditory nucleus of thalamus is the
Definition
medial geniculate nucleus (rem AMG)
Term
The medial geniculate projects to ? ? cortex
Definition
primary auditory
Term
the primary auditory cortex located on the banks of the ? lobes
Definition
temporal
Term
the auditory cortex is organised
Definition
tonographically
Term
high frequencies picked up in base of cochlea are represented superiorly/iferiorly in ctx
Definition
superiorly
Term
low frequencies picked up in apex of cochlea are represented inferiorly/superiorly in ctx
Definition
inferiorly
Term
hearing loss due to noise + damage to inner ear =
Definition
presbycusis
Term
There are two components to monitoring motion,? + ? acceleration
Definition
linear + angular
Term
The ? detect angular acceleration
Definition
semicircular canals
Term
hair cells sit in small swelling at base of an endolymph-filled hoop =
Definition
ampula
Term
The ? and ? detect linear acceleration
Definition
utricle and saccule
Term
The utricle and saccule have a sheet of hair cells=
Definition
(the macula)
Term
the cilia are embedded in a ? mass
Definition
the cilia are embedded in a gelatinous mass
Term
gel has a clump of small crystals embedded in it, called an
Definition
otolith
Term
when you move to one side, the otolith-gel mass drags on the ? ?
Definition
hair cells
Term
saccule is oriented vertically+ detects motion in the ? plane (up and down, forward and back).
Definition
sagittal
Term
The eye is controlled by ? pairs of muscles
Definition
three
Term
defect in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) between the pons and occulomotor nucleus will result in a defect in ? ?
Definition
lateral gaze.
