    Outer hair cells in the ear amplify sounds by changing shape when stimulated by sound waves, vibrating the basilar membrane and initiating depolarization. Rods allow for black and white vision with low resolution at night, using one photopigment. Cones allow for color vision with high resolution, using three photopigments. The brain can be divided into hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, with different regions responsible for tasks like memory, breathing, senses and learning. The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscles and thinking, while the autonomous nervous system regulates functions like heart rate without voluntary control.

    Bisc 305 Practice Questions

    Chapter 6
    1. Outer hair cells amplify environmental stimuli by changing shape due to
    motor proteins, which vibrates the basilar membrane. This is initiated by
    sound causing a depolarization.
    2. Their role is to amplify sound so it can be interpreted by the brain.
    3. Rods are used for black and white vision, and many rods may converge at
    one neuron, resulting in low resolution at night. We have 1 photopigment for
    this. Cones are used for colour vision, and we have 3 photopigments for this,
    and each cone is attached to 1 neuron, creating a high resolution.
    Chapter 7
    1. The brain can be divided into the hindbrain, midbrain and the forebrain. It can
    also be subdivided into different regions that deal with specific tasks such as
    memory, breathing, emotions, senses, and learning.
    2. The somatic nervous system is the part of the nervous system that we have
    control over, such as moving our skeletal muscle or thinking, while our
    autonomic nervous system is the part of the nervous system that we have no
    control over, such as our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems,
    and also our enteric nervous system.
    3. A) parasympathetic, b) parasympathetic, c) sympathetic
    4. Because we have no voluntary control over it, like the way we do our skeletal
    muscle. For example, we cannot make our hearts speed up or slow down at
    will.
    5. Basal tone is the fact that both our parasympathetic and sympathetic
    nervous systems are always on and antagonizing one another. One system is
    never off at any point. Most organs are dually innervated so the both systems
    influence the function of the organ at any point in time.
    6. A neuron is a single cell with a cell body, axon, and dendrites. A nerve is
    composed mainly of axons and is used to transmit information within the
    body.
