- 8.
Explain thermal sensation.thermoreceptors- free nerve endings. warmth vs. coldness - different receptors. anything above or below stimulate pain receptors.
- 9.
Explain painful sensation. Nociceptors- free nerve endings. everywhere except brain. extreme, thermal, mechanical, or chemical stimuli. tissue damage causes release of prostaglandins, kinins, and potassium ions. pain may persist because chemicals linger.

bony, membraneous - 22.
List the steps in the physiology of hearing.
Correct Answer
1. auricle 2. external auditory canal 3. sound vibrates ear drum 4. malleus 5. incus 6. stapes 7. membrane of oval window moves back and forth 8. pressure waves in perilymph of scala vestibuli and scala tympani 9. pressure waves in endolypmh of cochlear duct 10. basilar membrane vibrates 11. hair cells move and produce action potentials 12. cochlear nerve 13. vestibulocochlear nerve 14. to the brain - 23.
What are otoacoustic emissions?
Correct Answer
vibrations of certain hair cells in response to sounds and signals from motor neurons emit inaudible sounds - 24.
Describe dynamic equilibrium and how it is maintained.
Correct Answer
Involved in evaluating movements of the head. Head moves, fluid lags behind causing hair cells to bend= action potential. - 25.
