The right answer is spongy bone (cancellous bone).

In otosclerosis, the new bone blocks the movement of the stirrup, causing transmission hypoacusia. Otosclerosis can also cause perceptive deafness, especially when otosclerotic bone foci are close to scala media. Half of all cases are hereditary. The measles virus may play a role in triggering a genetic predisposition to otosclerosis.

A decline in sensory responsiveness that occurs when a stimulus is unchanging or repetitive is called _______________.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Sensory Adaption

Explanation:

Stimuli, both external and internal, are sensed with the help of sensory receptors. These sensory receptors sense the change in internal or external conditions called stimuli and send the information to the central nervous system. The sensory information is processed and interpreted in the central nervous system which in turn makes a person aware of the sensed stimuli.

However, the constant presence of the same stimulus does not trigger the firing of the action potential as it occurred during the first few encounters. This is called sensory adaption. For example, chirping of birds is apparent when a person enters the countryside but becomes less apparent after a few days due to sensory adaption of ears.
