Describe the flow of information within either the visual system or the auditory system
What will be an ideal response?
Visual system: light hits the eye, and goes through the cornea and pupil to the lens. The lens projects an image on the retina. The rods and the cones detect the light, and relay the information to the brain via the optic nerve. Auditory system: sound waves are collected by the pinna, and then pass through the ear canal to the tympanic membrane, which vibrates in response to the sound waves. This sets the hammer, anvil, and stirrup into motion, and the motion compresses fluid in the cochlea, which contains the basilar membrane. The motion of the basilar membrane activates hair cells, which are connected to the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve transmits the information to the brain.
