Question
Answer
show sensory organs, five senses, detects change in environment

🗑
Attention   show
🗑
show specifically focusing on one item  
🗑
show focusing on one item so much that you become blind to the other things around you  
🗑
show every sense translates to brain so it can understand the process, change environmental stimulus into chemical impulses so the brain understands it  
🗑
Seeing/Vision   show
🗑
show outer layer of the eye, protects the eye, bends light toward the central focal point  
🗑
Pupil   show
🗑
Iris   show
🗑
show behind pupil, bend light and focus it to retina, thickness depends on how much light will be bent  
🗑
show process of bending light to focus on retina  
🗑
show whole back part of the eye  
🗑
Photoreceptors   show
🗑
show 120 million, edge of the retina, sensitive when dark, deals with light, named for shape, detects movement, lower absolute threshold for shades of grey, central vision, black and white  
🗑
Cones   show
🗑
Bipolar Cells   show
🗑
Ganglion Cells   show
🗑
show central focal point of the retina, where vision is best  
🗑
Optic Nerve   show
🗑
Blind Spot   show
🗑
show information gets together and is separated into left and right visual cortex  
🗑
Feature Detectors   show
🗑
Parallel Processing   show
🗑
show how good vision is  
🗑
Nearsightedness (Myopia)   show
🗑
show see far away but not close up, focus image after retina  
🗑
Electromagnetic Spectrum & Visible Light   show
🗑
show determined by frequency, different colors  
🗑
Amplitude   show
🗑
Brightness   show
🗑
Saturation   show
🗑
Additive Color Mixing   show
🗑
show each pigment absorbs different wavelengths of light thus admitting the color we see  
🗑
Trichromatic Theory of Light (Young   show
🗑
Hermann von Helmholtz   show
🗑
show each color has an opposite color, light that stimulates one half of the pair of colors inhibits the other half  
🗑
Ewald Hering   show
🗑
Afterimage   show
🗑
Color Blindness   show
🗑
Adaptation   show
🗑
show pupils get smaller so less light gets in  
🗑
show pupils get larger so more light gets in  
🗑
show outer ear, captures the sound  
🗑
show outer ear, funnels sound to ear drum  
🗑
show outer ear, turns sound wave into vibration  
🗑
show amplify and intensifies sound  
🗑
Ossicles   show
🗑
Hammer   show
🗑
Anvil   show
🗑
Stirrup   show
🗑
show sound travels through to get to inner ear,  
🗑
show looks like a snail, fluid filled, sound waves change into neural impulses  
🗑
show cilia attached to hair cells that send auditory nerve  
🗑
Auditory Nerve   show
🗑
Amplitude   show
🗑
Loudness (measured in Decibels)   show
🗑
Pitch   show
🗑
show the number of wavelengths that reach your ear per second, pitch  
🗑
Timbre   show
🗑
show pitch depends on where it is processed in the cochlea, low frequencies: tip of the cochlea, high frequencies: near oval window,  
🗑
show how many frequencies are sent to the brain, high: more, low: less  
🗑
show cilia take turns sending nerve impulses to brain  
🗑
show where sound comes from  
🗑
show outer or middle ear, cannot conduct sound to sent to inner ear, hearing aid  
🗑
show problem with the sensory nerve cells or nerves that go to the brain  
🗑
show taste and smell, receptor cells that respond to chemical structures  
🗑
Papillae   show
🗑
show taste receptors in papillae  
🗑
show Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Salty, Umami  
🗑
Pheromones   show
🗑
Skin Sense   show
🗑
Gate Control Theory   show
🗑
Biopsychosocial Theory   show

🗑
Proprioception/Kinesthetic Sense   show
🗑
Equilibrioception/Vestibular Sense   show
🗑
Semicircular Canals   show
🗑
show lose some senses because you adapt to it, used so you can focus on new things, not as much in eyes  
🗑
show if you lose one sense, your other senses will pick up the slack  
🗑
