• Two Components of Sound Wave:There are two main components of the sound wave

that are detected and used by the auditory system:1. Volume- Amplitude (height of

wave)

Hearing- Mammals (con’t)

2. Pitch- Frequency (no. of waves per unit time)

Page 6: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

1. Amplitudelarger amplitude= louder sound

-larger amplitude results in stronger pressure on the hair cells, thereby causing more action potentials

(more neurotransmitters released)2. Pitch

- basilar membrane varies in thickness and flexibility-base= narrow and stiff; stimulated by higher pitch-tip (apex)= wider and more flexible; stimulated by

lower pitch

Hearing- Mammals (con’t)

Equilibrium

balance and body position/orientation

Page 9: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Equilibrium- Mammals

Semicircular Canals

Organs to detect body position and maintain balance located in inner ear

1.) Utricle and Saccule (2 parts of same organ)-located next to oval window-detect which direction is up and detect body position and acceleration

2.) Semicircular Canals (3 canals in total)-next to utricle-detect angular movements

Page 10: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

1. Utricle and saccule contain clusters of hair cells embedded in a gel called a cupula.

2. Cupula contains otoliths.

3. Cupula (with otoliths) is heavier than the endolymph (fluid) in the utricle and saccule, so gravity is pulling the cupula down on to the hairs of the hair cells.

Page 11: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

4. Changes in angle of body (i.e. changes in position of head) change the force on the hair cells.

- causes stimulation of some cells that weren’t stimulated before- causes some to increase/decrease their signals

Page 12: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Semicircular Canals

3 canals (“loops”) - one for each plane:- side-to-side- front and back- up and down

Same mechanism of stimulation as for utricle and saccule (cupula with otoliths, hair cells, etc.)

Equilibrium- Mammals

Semicircular Canals

Page 13: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Equilibrium- Aquatic OrganismsLateral Line System 1. Fish: lateral line on both sides of body

series of mechanoreceptors called neuromasts on body just under the epidermis

Small openings (pores) in epidermis allow for water to enter into lateral line canals

Page 14: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Lateral Line SystemWater stimulates clusters of hair cells in the neuromasts by bending the

cupula (gelatinous cap over the hair cells)

Stimulation causes release of neurotransmitters, sending signals through sensory nerves to brain

Equilibrium- Lateral Line (con’t)

Page 15: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Most invertebrates have sensory “organ” called statocysts

Parts of statocyst:-layer of ciliated receptor cells surrounding an open chamber-inside chamber are grains of dense material called statoliths

Equilibrium- Invertebrates

2. Pathway: a. Gravity causes statoliths to settle downwardb. Once reach bottom of chamber, stimulating cilia of receptor

cellsc. Stimulated cells release neurotransmitters, stimulating

connecting sensory nerve fibers

Page 16: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Sensory deprivation and hallucination• Degradation of vision and hearing is associated with visual and

auditory hallucinations.

• Thought to be associated with hyperactivity or visual and auditory brain regions that received degraded input from sensory organs.

• Distinctly different in character from drug-induced and psychotic hallucinations

• Charles Bonnett syndrome.

• Link to Oliver Sacks’ TED talk.

Hormone Transport and Action on Target

Page 28: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Hydrophobic messengers pass into cell (and sometimes the nucleus) where they bind with transcription factors which affect gene expression.

Page 29: April  22, 2014  – Hearing and  equilibrium II Review of the mechanics of hearing .

Hydrophilic hormones bind to a receptor on the cell membrane which causes several reactions known as a signal transductionpathway. This can affect the properties of enzymes/proteins, etc. or it may affect gene expression.
