Optic Nerve
The nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the occipital lobes of the brain
Blind Spot
The point at which the optic nerve travels through the retina to exit the eye; the lack of rods and cones at this point, creates a small blind spot
Trichromatic (three-color) Theory
A theory of color vision that says cones are sensitive to red, green and blue light - the three colors that combine to create millions of color combinations
Subtractive Color Mixing
When mixing colored paints, each new color SUBTRACTS (soaks up) another wavelength
Additive Color Mixing
When mixing colored lights, each new color ADDS another wavelength
Color Deficient Vision
People who lack one of the three types of cones
Opponent-Process Theory of Color
A theory of color vision that says color is processed by cones organized in opponent pairs
(red-green, yellow-blue, black-white); light that stimulated one half of the pair inhibits the other half
Pitch
A sound's highness or lowness, which depends on the frequency of the sound wave
Hertz (HZ)
A measure of the number of sound wave peaks per second; measures "frequency"
Decibel (dB)
A measure of the height of the sound wave; determines the loudness of the sound
Auditory Canal
The opening through which sound waves travel as they move into the ear for processing
Tympanic Membrane (eardrum)
The tissue barrier that transfers sound vibration from the air to the tine bones of the middle ear
Ossicles
Three tiny bones that transfer sound waves from the eardrum to the cochlea
Cochlea
The major organ of hearing; a snail shaped bony body tube fluid-filled in the inner ear where sound waves are changed to neural impulses
Oval Window
The point on the surface of the cochlea which receives the sound vibration from the ossicles
