stirrups
basilar cells
feature detectors
question 3 (2 points)

Explanation:

• For the first question, the axons of ganglion cells in the eye form the optic nerve which transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. The olfactory epithelium is related to smell, the blind - spot is the area where the optic nerve exits the eye with no photoreceptors, and the vestibular canal is part of the inner - ear for balance.
• For the second question, feature detectors are neurons or groups of neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to specific features of a stimulus like edges, lines, etc. Pinnae are the outer - ear structures, stirrups are middle - ear bones, and basilar cells are related to hearing in the cochlea.

Answer:

1. D. optic nerve
2. D. Feature detectors
