to the ossicles A) malleus, incus, stapes

B) incus, malleus, stapes

C) stapes, incus, malleus

D) malleus, stapes, incus

B) movement of otoliths along hair cells

C) transmission of light through the lens

D) sound waves traveling through the cochlea

E) stimulation of hair cells in the spiral organ of Corti

31) Which cranial nerve transmits hearing and equilibrium information to the brain? A) abducens (VI)

35) Which one of the following nerves serves the anterior tongue?

39) The fusion of ear bones is known as

12) The function of the pharyngotympanic (auditory) tube is to transmit sound vibrations to the eardrum (tympanic membrane)

15) In order to hear sound, vibrations pass from the eardrum to the ossicles, and on

to the oval window

18) Unlike the sensation of taste, it is NOT necessary to have the chemicals

associated with smells dissolved in body fluids

Answer: FALSE

19) The olfactory receptors are responsible for detecting taste sensations Answer: FALSE

31) Prolonged vitamin A deficiency results in deterioration of the neural retina Page Ref: 308

3) Describe the role of the lens in vision Name and explain the disease caused

by the hardening of the lens

Vibration of the tympanic membrane then causes the ossicles of the middle ear to vibrate, which in turn presses on the oval window of the inner ear Vibration of

the oval window sets the fluids of the inner ear in motion Movement of the

cochlear fluids then stimulates the hair cells of the spiral organ of Corti, which in turn transmit impulses along the cochlear nerve to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe, where interpretation of sound occurs

5) Explain static and dynamic equilibrium and their interrelationships

Answer: Static equilibrium is regulated by the maculae of the vestibule The maculae report on the position of the head with respect to the pull of gravity when the body

is at rest Each macula is a patch of receptor cells embedded in the otolithic

membrane The otolithic membrane contains otoliths which roll in response to changes in the pull of gravity This movement causes the hair cells of the membrane

to bend, sending impulses along the vestibular nerve to the cerebellum, relating information regarding the position of the head in space Dynamic equilibrium is regulated by the semicircular canals The crista ampullaris of the membranous semicircular canal consists of a tuft of hair cells and their gelatinous cap called the cupula Movement of the head causes the cupula to move in the opposite direction, stimulating the hair cells, which then transmit impulses up the vestibular nerve to the cerebellum Static and dynamic equilibrium work together to provide

information to the cerebellum to help control balance

6) Your elderly neighbor wears hearing aids Without them, he can’t hear you

knocking on his door Do you think he wears the hearing aids for sensorineural deafness or conduction deafness? Explain your choice and differentiate between the causes of these two types of deafness

Answer: The neighbor likely has conduction deafness, a condition for which hearing aids is helpful Conduction deafness results when something interferes with the transmission of sound to the inner ear structures, such as ear wax buildup or fusion

of the ossicles Sensorineural deafness results from degeneration or damage to the spiral organ of Corti, the cochlear nerve, or the neurons of the auditory cortex In other words, the hearing aids assist with helping those hear who have mechanical problems with their ear structures (conduction deafness) rather than those with nervous system problems (sensorineural deafness)
