Summary of hearing: Vibrations cause the cochlea’s membrane to shake. This causes ripples in the ____________, bending the _____
_______ lining its surface. Hair cells convert the messages into neurons that are then sent by the ____________ to the thalamus, then onto the _________ cortex in the _________lobe.
Basilar membrane: located inside of the cochlea which is located in the inner ear. This membrane separates two tubes that is filled with liquid which is also important for hearing.
Hair cells: Connected to the basilar membrane and they acts as sensory receptors which can catch movements (ripples) in the basilar membrane and pass this message to the neurons.
Nerve cells: One of the main cell types in the brain, which are responsible for signal transfer.
Auditory cortex: This part of the brain is located in temporal lobe and handles the auditory information.
Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to capillaries. On the contrary, veins carry blood without oxygen from the capillaries to the heart. Arteries are very flexible and yet strong blood vessels so that efficient transport of oxygen-rich blood along the bloodstream through the organism is enabled.
The force of friction is reduced between the blocks by adding the dishwashing liquid because the liquid is slippery and this makes it difficult for the two surfaces to contact each other directly. Therefore the blocks slip past each other rather than grinding against each other, producing less friction.
Dorsal means back as in the back area. Example~ Many dolphins have a pronounced beak and all have a central dorsal fin and sharp teeth for feeding, mainly on squid and fish.
