statement is NOT true of the characteristics of sensations Contrast is the difference between seeing and hearing
Pain that originates in an internal organ but is felt as cutaneous pain is called referred pain
The part of the sensory pathway that projects a sensation is the sensory area in the brain
Being aware of a sensation even after the stimulus has stopped is called after-image
Becoming unaware of a continuing stimulus is called adaptation
The feeling of a sensation in the area of the stimulated receptors is called projection
The effect of a previous sensation on a current sensation is called contrast
The vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves are both sensory for vagus and glossopharyngeal
Arterial pressoreceptors and chemoreceptors are located in these arteries aortic arch and carotid arteries

The arterial chemoreceptors detect changes in blood oxygen levels
The parts of the brain that regulate balance and equilibrium are the midbrain and cerebellum
The cranial nerve pair concerned with equilibrium is the acoustic
The function of the eustachian tube is to allow air in and out of the middle ear
Air pressure in the middle ear cavity is regulated by the eustachian tube
