11.Which sequence of events is required for the brain to interpret sound?
I. Vibration of the basilar membrane relative to the tectorial membrane causes cilia on hair cells to bend and triggers depolarization.
II. Hair cells stimulate the production of action potentials in sensory neurons that project to the brain.
III. Ganglion cell axons transmit action potentials to the occipital lobe.
A. II then I B.III then I then II. C.III then I D.I then II E.I then II then III
12. Which animal became numerous and widespread by using sonar to enable a high level activity in the dark?
A.bats B.whales C.owls D.dolphins E.shrews
13.In the vertebrate eye, what structure is light focused onto?
A.pupil B.lens C.retina D.sclera E.iris
14.Which is NOT a part of the vertebrate eye?
A. cornea B. retina C. iris D. cochlea E. pupil
15. In the vertebrate eye, what structure controls the amount of light that reaches the retina?
A. fovea. B. cornea. C. iris D. lens E. sclera
16.What are the short retinal photoreceptors responsible for color vision called?
A.rods B.cones C.bipolar cells. D.glial cells. E.ganglion cells
17. What sensory equipment is required for an animal to have binocular vision?
A.eyes located to the sides of the head B.forward-facing eyes C.a camera-type eye with multiple lenses
D. infrared vision E.ultraviolet vision
18. Choose the receptor that is NOT correctly matched with its function.
A.proprioceptor - monitors stretch of muscle fibers
B.baroreceptor - monitors hydrostatic pressure in blood vessels
C.nociceptor - transmits signals that the brain interprets as pain
D.chemoreceptor - perceives taste and smell stimuli
E.peripheral chemoreceptor - monitors the pH of the cerebrospinal fluid
19. Where is the visual image in focus for a nearsighted individual?
A.behind the retina B.in front of the retina C.on the retina, but it appears blurred
D.at the lens, forming a shadow on the retina E.on the retina, but it is upside down
20. Since the optic nerve must pass through the retinal layer, we all have a blind spot devoid of light receptors. This normally goes unnoticed, since the brain attempts to compensate for missing sensory information by filling it in based on surrounding patterns. Which step of the sensory pathway is represented by perceptual filling-in of the physiological blind spot?
A. interpretation B. stimulus. C. transduction into receptor potential D.action potential transmission
