Question

8 of 8
once stimulated, the hair cells transmit impulses along the cochlear nerve (a division of cranial nerve viii—the vestibulocochlear nerve) to the auditory cortex in the (1. ) lobe, where interpretation of the sound, or hearing, occurs. because sound usually reaches the two ears at different times, we could say that we (2. ) in stereo. functionally, this helps us to determine where sounds are coming from in our environment.
when the same sounds, or tones, keep reaching the ears, the auditory (3. ) tend to adapt, or stop responding, to those sounds, and we are no longer aware of them. this is why the drone of a continuously running motor does not demand our (4. ) after the first few seconds. however, hearing is the last sense to leave our awareness when we fall asleep or receive (5. ) and is the first to return as we awaken.

1 attention 2. anesthesia 3 temporal 4. hear 5. receptors

Explanation:

• For blank 1: The temporal lobe is associated with auditory processing.
• For blank 2: "Hear" makes sense in the context of perceiving sound in stereo.
• For blank 3: Auditory receptors adapt to continuous sounds.
• For blank 4: A continuous motor drone doesn't demand attention after a while.
• For blank 5: Anesthesia is related to loss of awareness, and hearing is affected during it.

Answer:

1. temporal 2. hear 3. receptors 4. attention 5. anesthesia (corresponding to the third option: 1. temporal 2. hear 3. receptors 4. attention 5. anesthesia)
