Ear quiz

the sense of hearing. The loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude or height of the sound wave.

the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given amount of time. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Frequency or wavelength determines the hue of a light wave and the pitch of a sound.

• Pitch

• Gustation

• Frequency

• Sound Localization

-the highness or lowness of a sound. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. The longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency, the lower the pitch.

the quality of a sound determined by the purity of a waveform. What makes a note of the same pitch and loudness sound different on different musical instruments.

• Cochlea

• Olfaction

• Vestibular sense

the process by which you determine the location of a sound

• hammer

The inner ear includes

• stirrup

• cochlea

• vestibular sacs

• eardrum

• semicircular canals

snail shaped fluid-filled tube in the inner car with hair cells on the bather membrane that transduce mechanical energy of vibrating molecules to the electrochemical energy of neural impulses. Hair cell movement triggers impulses in adjacent nerve fibers.

axons of neurons in the cochlea converge transmitting sound messages through the medulla, pons, and thalamus to the auditory cortex of the temporal lobes Conduction deafness loss of hearing that results when the eardrum is punctured or any of the ossicles lose their ability to vibrate. A hearing aid may restore hearing.
