Nervous system — function?
Transmits signals to coordinate responses.
Auditory pathway — structures?
Outer ear, middle ear, cochlea, auditory nerve.
Reflex arc — purpose?
Enables quick, involuntary responses.
Myotatic reflex — trigger?
Muscle stretch detected by muscle spindles.
Neural circuits — components?
Sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron.
Receptor — role?
Converts stimulus into nerve message.
Hair cells — location?
Cochlea in inner ear.
Action potential — coding?
Frequency encodes stimulus intensity.
Inhibitory interneuron — function?
Prevents antagonist muscle contraction.
Synapse — process?
Neurotransmitter release transmits nerve signals.
