vibrations from the ossicles reach the cochlear fluid

binocular cues - ✅✅-depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the
use of two eyes

bipolar cells - ✅✅ -specialized cells which connect rods and cones to the
ganglion cells of the optic nerve

✅✅-the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye
blind spot -

body senses - ✅✅-kinesthetic and vestibular senses

cochlea - ✅✅-a coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves
traveling through the cochlear fluid trigger nerve impulses

whose axons form the optic nerve which takes the information to the brain
