Question 10

Question

Question 11

Question
Three tiny muscles attach to the middle ear ossicles to dampen the sound produced by your own body.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 12

Question
The high surface area of the tympanic membrane gives it high sensitivity so small sounds can be detected.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 13

Question
What is the correct process in which sound is perceived?
Answer
  • Conduction of soundwave from oval window -> Moves back and dissipates and wobbles the basilar membrane located in the cochlear -> deflects stereocilia that have mechanically gated K+ channels at the tip -> opens them and this causes depolarisation -> Ca2+ entry due to VG Ca2+ opening upon depolarisation -> causes NT release and action potential in sensory neuron -> stereocilia move back to original place after sound has dissipated.
  • Conduction of soundwave from oval window -> Moves back and dissipates and wobbles the basilar membrane located in the cochlear -> deflects stereocilia that have mechanically gated K+ channels at the tip -> opens them and this causes repolarisation -> Ca2+ entry due to VG Ca2+ opening upon repolarisation -> causes NT release and action potential in sensory neuron -> stereocilia move back to original place after sound has dissipated.
  • Conduction of soundwave from oral window -> Moves back and dissipates and wobbles the basilar membrane located in the cochlear -> deflects stereocilia that have mechanically gated K+ channels at the tip -> opens them and this causes depolarisation -> Ca2+ entry due to VG Ca2+ opening upon depolarisation -> causes NT release and action potential in sensory neuron -> stereocilia move back to original place after sound has dissipated.

Answer

Question 15

Question
Why are lower frequency sounds detected further along the length of the cochlea?
Answer
  • The basilar membrane is narrow and stiff at the base and wide and floppy at the apex and therefore low energy sounds wobble the apex which is picked up by the brain as a low frequency sound.
  • The basilar membrane is wide and floppy at the base and narrow and stiff at the apex and therefore high energy sounds such as those that are low frequency wobble the apex which is picked up by the brain as a low frequency sound.
  • Low frequency sounds have higher energy and travel further along the basilar membrane. This causes deflection of the stereocilia further along the length of the cochlea and therefore detection of low frequency sounds.

Question 16

Question
Are inner hair cells myelinated or unmyelinated? What is the benefit of this?
Answer
  • Myelinated
  • Unmyelinated
  • Conduction to the brain is faster
  • Conduction to the brain is slowed and has enough time to process the information

Question 17

Question
What is the route of transmission of hearing to the brain?
Answer
  • Spiral ganglion -> ventral cochlear nucleus (the "splitter") -> inferior colliculus -> medial geniculate nucleus -> Auditory cortex
  • Spiral ganglion -> ventral cochlear nucleus (the "splitter") -> inferior colliculus -> medial geniculate nucleus -> Visual cortex
  • Spiral ganglion -> ventral cochlear nucleus (the "splitter") -> inferior colliculus -> lateral geniculate nucleus -> Auditory cortex

Question 18

Question
How can the brain cause descending influence to dampen hearing?
Answer
  • Attenuation reflex (two tiny muscles)
  • Alter sensitivity of outer hair cells
  • Thicken the tympanic membrane
  • Contract the cochlear to reduce basilar membrane wobble

Question 19

Question
What is conductive deafness?
Answer
  • Problem with the ossicles of the middle ear
  • Damaged hair cells that cannot perceive sound anymore
  • A problem with higher brain centres like the auditory cortex

Question 20

Question
What is sensorineural deafness?
Answer
  • Problem with the ossicles of the middle ear
  • Damage to the hair cells
  • A problem with higher brain centres like the auditory cortex

Question 21

Question
What is central deafness?
Answer
  • Problems with the ossicles in the middle ear
  • Damage to the hair cells
  • Problems with higher brain centres such as the auditory cortex

Question 22

Question
A cochleal implant effectively emulates the basilar membrane. Low frequency sounds travel further along the implant wiring and high frequency sounds travel a shorter distance and this input can be directly linked to the auditory nerve to stimulate it.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 23

Question 27

Question
What is the mechanism by which sweet, umami and bitter tastes are detected?
Answer

  • Receptor activated -> associated heterotrimeric complex beta sub unit activated -> activates phospholipase-c-beta2 -> PLC-b2 activates IP3 -> IP3 activates TRPM -> Ca2+ influx -> neurotransmitter release -> sensory neurone excitation -> AP
  • Receptor activated -> associated heterodimeric complex alpha sub unit activated -> activates phospholipase-c-beta2 -> PLC-b2 activates IP3 -> IP3 activates TRPM -> Ca2+ influx -> neurotransmitter release -> sensory neurone excitation -> AP

Question 35

Question
What is the mechanism of olfaction?
Answer
  • Odorant binds -> alpha subunit of heterotrimeric complex activated -> alpha subunit activates adenylyl cyclase -> adenylyl cyclase activates Na+/Ca2+ symporter. Na+ helps with depol and Ca2+ helps with NT release -> Ca2+ activates calcium activated Cl- channel and Cl- is extruded causing further depolarisation.
  • Odorant binds -> beta subunit of heterotrimeric complex activated -> alpha subunit activates adenylyl cyclase -> adenylyl cyclase activates Na+/Ca2+ symporter. Na+ helps with depol and Ca2+ helps with NT release -> Ca2+ activates calcium activated Cl- channel and Cl- is extruded causing further depolarisation.
