1. Which statement is true regarding the special senses?
If an individual is missing a particular category of rod cells, he or she will be colorblind
If the light entering the eye is refracted on two different areas of the retina, double vision will occur
If the olfactory bulb is damaged, an individual's sense of equilibrium will be partially lost
Conductive hearing loss can result from damaged or dead hair cells (stereocilia)

Taste and Hearing
Smell and Taste
Smell and Hearing

Cochlea
Utricle
5. Which of the following structures is in direct contact with the tympanic membrane?
Malleus
Incus

6. What statement is true regarding the eye?
The fovea centralis of the macula lutea has the highest concentration of rod cells
The fovea centralis is the blind spot of the eye
The ciliary processes of the eye secrete the fluid that fills that anterior chamber of the eye
The muscles of the eye are all controlled by peripheral nerves
7. Which statement is true regarding the ear and hearing?
The spiral organ is found within the external ear
The ear ossicles are connected to the oval window
The semicircular canals vibrate in accordance to the sound waves entering the ear
The auditory (Eustachian) tube allows passage of sound waves to the tympanic membrane
8. An irregular shape of the cornea can cause blurred vision and is referred to as:
Astigmatism
Glaucoma
Cataracts
Conjunctivitis
9. The vestibular nerve carries information to the brain that is interpreted as sound
True
False
10. Which statement is true regarding balance and equilibrium within the inner ear?
Unlike hearing, equilibrium is not innervated with a cranial nerve
The saccule and utricle depend on otoliths to assist in stimulating their sensory hair cells
The spiral organ plays a vital role in balance
The inner ear is innervated by cranial nerve (CN) VII, the facial nerve.
