Column 1, #3

Describe why the nose “runs” when you get teary-eyed.

(b)Rods detect the presence or absence of light.

Column 1, #5

(a)The ciliary muscles constrict to focus on objects up close, such as print in a newspaper.

(b)The ciliary muscles relax to view objects at a distance, such as a distant large screen in a movie theater.

resembles a snail shell and contains nerve endings essential

for hearing?

Column 2, #3

Semicircular canals.

What is the name for the three tubular and looped structures of the inner ear that serve to maintain a sense of balance?

Column 2, #4
