Question 8

Indicate the characteristics associated with each part of the ear using the answer code below (more than one answer may apply):
-Components aligned in three different planes all perpendicular to each other.
A)external ear
B)middle ear
C)cochlea in the inner ear
D)semicircular canal in the inner ear
E)utricle and saccule in the inner ear

Accepted Answer

The semicircular canals in the inner ear are the ones aligned in three different planes all perpendicular to each other, allowing for detection of changes in head rotation and balance.

Answer: E
 The utricle and saccule in the inner ear contain tiny hairs that are set in a gelatinous material which moves in response to movement. This allows for detection of changes in head position and linear acceleration.

Question 9

Match the following receptors to their locations.
-receptors in taste buds
A)chemoreceptors
B)mechanoreceptors
C)photoreceptors

Accepted Answer

Taste buds contain chemoreceptors, which are responsible for detecting different flavor molecules in the food we eat.

Question 10

Match the following receptors to their locations.
-receptors in cochlea
A)chemoreceptors
B)mechanoreceptors
C)photoreceptors

Accepted Answer

The receptors in the cochlea are specifically mechanoreceptors, as they respond to mechanical vibrations (sound waves) in order to detect auditory stimuli. Chemoreceptors respond to chemical stimuli, and photoreceptors respond to light stimuli, neither of which are located in the cochlea.

Question 11

Match the following characteristics with the correct sensory system
-Information processed by temporal lobe
A)pain
B)vision
C)hearing
D)motion/equilibrium
E)taste
F)smell

Accepted Answer

The temporal lobe is primarily responsible for processing auditory information, which relates to hearing.

Question 12

Match the following characteristics with the correct sensory system
-Sensory receptor neurons are able to regenerate
A)pain
B)vision
C)hearing
D)motion/equilibrium
E)taste
F)smell

Accepted Answer

Taste receptor cells have the ability to regenerate, typically every 10 to 14 days.

Question 13

Match the following term with its description.
-Measured in cycles per second.
A)timbre (quality)
B)pitch (tone)
C)intensity of a sound wave (loudness)

Accepted Answer

Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound, which is determined by the frequency of the sound waves, measured in cycles per second (Hz).

Question 14

Match the following term with its description.
-Dependent on the amplitude of the sound wave.
A)timbre (quality)
B)pitch (tone)
C)intensity of a sound wave (loudness)

Accepted Answer

The intensity of a sound wave is the measure of the amplitude of the wave and it determines the loudness of the sound.

Question 15

Match the following term with its description.
-Dependent on the overtones.
A)timbre (quality)
B)pitch (tone)
C)intensity of a sound wave (loudness)

Accepted Answer

Timbre is the quality of a sound that is dependent on the overtones, which gives each sound its unique tone color.

Answer: B 
 Pitch is the tone of a sound wave that is determined by its frequency, and is not dependent on overtones.

Answer: C 
 The intensity of a sound wave is the loudness or amplitude, and is not dependent on overtones.

Question 16
