Rods Correct Ans-Retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray
external ear Correct Ans-auricle, external acoustic meatus, tympanic membrane
middle ear Correct Ans-the chamber between the eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny
bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the
cochlea's oval window
inner ear Correct Ans-the innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular
