Nerve pathways traveling from the optic chiasm to the thalamus, hypothalamus, and midbrain.

Optic nerve

Optic tracts

A theory of color vision based on the existence of different types of cones for the detection of short, medium, and long wavelengths.

Trichromatic theory

Opponent process theory

A theory of color vision that suggests we have a red-green color channel and a blue-yellow color channel in which activation of one color in each pair inhibits the other color.

Trichromatic theory

Opponent process theory

Is the Ishihara Color test used for detecting color deficiency?

Yes

Depth perception

The ability to use the two-dimensional image projected on the retina to perceive three dimensions

A depth cue that requires the use of only one eye

Monocular cue

The ability to use the two-dimensional image projected on the retina to perceive three dimensions

A depth cue that requires the use of only one eye

A depth cue that requires the use of both eyes

Binocular cue

A depth cue that requires the use of both eyes

A depth cue that requires the use of only one eye

The ability to use the two-dimensional image projected on the retina to perceive three dimensions

Retinal disparity- The difference between the images projected onto each eye.

Cierto

Falso

Pupil

Bends light toward the retina

Forms an opening in the iris

Lens

Focuses light onto the retina

Contains rods,cones, and other visual neurons in its layer of cells.

Retina

Forms an opening in the iris

Contains rods,cones, and other visual neurons in its layer of cells.

Fovea(area of the retina)

Processes detailed vision

Acts as the target for most axons forming the optic tracts

Thalamus

Acts as the target for most axons forming the optic tracts

Receives visual input from the thalamus and performs initial analysis of input

Primary visual cortex(area in the occipital lobe

Acts as the target for most axons forming the optic tract

Receives visual input from the thalamus and performs initial analysis of input

Ultrasounds are ___________ the range of hearing, and infrasounds are ________ the range of human hearing.

Basilar membrane

Membrane in the cochlea on which the organ of Corti is located

Organ of Corti

A structure located on the basilar membrane that contains auditory receptors

Membrane in the cochlea on which the organ of Corti is located

Auditory nerve

Nerve carrying sound information from the cochlea to the brain

Membrane in the cochlea on which the organ of Corti is located

Gate theory - The theory that suggests that input from touch fibers competes with input form pain receptors, possibly preventing pain messages from reaching the brain.

Cierto

Falso

A nerve carrying olfactory information from the olfactory receptors to the olfactory bulbs.

Olfactory nerve

Olfactory bulb

One of the two structures below the frontal lobes of the brain that receive input from the olfactory receptors in the nose.

Olfactory nerve

Olfactory bulb

Small bumps on the tongue that contain taste buds.

Papillae

Taste bud

A structure found in the papillae that contains taste receptor cells.

Papillae

Taste bud

Collects sound and identifies its location as coming from above or below the head.

Pinna

Tympanic membrane

Begins the process of transduction of sound waves to neural signals when movement occurs.

Pinna

Tympanic membrane

Contains auditory receptors.

Cochlea

Thalamus

Recieves auditory input from the brainstem and connects to the primary auditory cortex.

Cochlea

Thalamus

Recieves and performs on initial analysis of auditory input from the thalamus.

Cochlea

Primary auditory cortex(area in the temporal lobe)
