Hearing
Frequencythe number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time
Pitcha tone’s highness or lownessdepends on frequency

Vision: Physical Properties of Waves
Short wavelength=high frequency(bluish colors, high-pitched sounds)
Long wavelength=low frequency(reddish colors, low-pitched sounds)
Great amplitude(bright colors, loud sounds)
Small amplitude(dull colors, soft sounds)

Hearing: The Ear Middle Ear
chamber between eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea’s oval window
Inner Ear innermost part of the ear, continuing
the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs
Cochlea coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner
ear through which

warmth cold pain

Pain Gate-Control Theory
theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological “gate” that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain
“gate” opened by the activity of pain signals traveling up small nerve fibers
“gate” closed by activity in larger fibers or by information coming from the brain
