  1. hearing-impaired, but not completely deaf
  2. unable to send action potentials from the ears to the brain
  3. unable to determine which way is up and which way is down

  2. B-lymphocytes and eosinophils
  3. eosinophils and monocytes
  4. monocytes and B-lymphocytes
College Zoology

  1. proximate- "What stimulus elicits the behavior?"
  2. ultimate - "What physiological mechanisms mediate the response?"
  3. proximate - "How does the behavior aid in survival and reproduction?"
  4. ultimate - "How does the animal's experience during growth and development influence the response?"
College Adaptations and Behavior

  1. a transduction error
  2. sensation amplification
  3. sensory adaptation
