Using the ideas of the place theory of pitch and the tonotopic organization of the auditory cortex, explain how we perceive different pitches of sounds.
In order to see a dim star at night, it is better not to look directly at it. If you see it from the "corner of your eye" and then tum to look at it, it may disappear. Explain how this occurs. Also, you can stare directly at an object in daylight and continue seeing it, despite the bleaching of photoreceptors. Explain how this is possible.
Discuss the role that inertia plays in the physiology of the vestibular apparatus. Why is there no sensation of movement in an airplane once it has achieved cruising speed?
Epithelial cells release transmitter chemicals that excite sensory neurons in all of these senses except a. taste. b. smell. c. equilibrium. d. hearing.
The dissociation of rhodopsin in the rods in response to light causes a. the \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\)channels to become blocked. b. the rods to secrete less neurotransmitter. c. the bipolar cells to become either stimulated or inhibited. d. all of these.
