Lab 9 - Sensory Organs Flashcards

1
Q
  1. How can we determine the minimal hearing threshold?
A

Increase the sound frequency until the test subject can hear the sound. the minimum hearing threshold is the first value (in Hz) at which the test subject can hear the sound

Q
  1. What is binocular disparity?
A

there is a given distance between the 2 eyes so an object projects to the fovea centralism of the retina in both eyes but all other points that are in front or behind project to other locations of retina

Q
  1. What is astigmatism?

Q
  1. Describe the genetic background of red-green color blindness:
A

Inheritable recessive alleles of X sex chromosome. Recessive allele in woman causes problems on heterozygote form, in man it is hemizygote

16
Q
  1. Accommodation triad?
A

adaptable curvature of the lens, eye movements, pupil function

17
Q
  1. Hearing range in human?
A

20-20000 Hz

18
Q
  1. Why visual field isn’t circular?
A

Due to different structures on the face (e.g. nose, ears, etc.) might be covered
by some parts of the theoretical field of vision

19
Q
  1. What are dB?
A

Scale measure for intensity of sound

20
Q
  1. Viewing angle?
A

Max angle at which a display can be viewed with acceptable visual performance

21
Q
  1. Measure of min viewing angle?
A

arcmin

22
Q
  1. Methods to find the blind spot?
A

Mariotte card + perimeter

23
Q
  1. Thermoreceptors?
A

Non specialized sensory receptor that codes absolute and relative changes in temp

24
Q
  1. define blind spot of retina
A

The blind spot of retina is where the optic nerve, retinal arteries and vein leave the eye.

At this point, NO photosensitive receptors are located. So if an object projects into this spot, we are not able to see it=BLIND SPOT

25
Q
  1. what is the biological explanation of the retinal after image?
A

Stimulation of ganglion cells of the retina do not cease immediately after ending of stimuli.
For example after lightning, we experience after-immage

26
Q
  1. name 5 parts of the reflective arch
A
  1. Receptor activation
  2. After transduction, the Signal travels towards CNS through an AFFERENT nerve
  3. The Signal is processed in the CNS
  4. The Information reaches the EFFECTOR organ through an EFFERENT nerve
  5. The EFFECTOR organ executes the order from the CNS
27
Q
  1. give an example of supporting roles (page 2)
A

Defending of receptors

Amplifying and modulating of signals

28
Q

Adaptation is a neural process that can be devided into?

A

Sensory side
Acting side
(Center in CNS)

29
Q

What are the three attributes for the sound waves?

A

wavelength (gamma)
frequency (f)
velocity (c)

Gamma=c/f

30
Q

What is the outer canal responsible for?

A

Forwarding the sound onto the ossicles located in the middle ear causing delay according to the location of the sound source.
RAT: No delay

31
Q

Why is the determination of the origin of sound important?

A

It is a combined result of registering the delay between the ears and,
recalling the memory!

32
Q

What does the Rinne experiment demonstrate?

A

Demonstrates that how the sound is transferred from outer ear to the inner.
