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

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

gate control theory of pain - ✅✅ -The theory that pain is a product of both
physiological and psychological factors that cause spinal gates to open and relay
