| 2. | Scala media | Scala vestibule | Scala tympani | Basilar membrane | Reissner’s membrane |
| 3. | Scala tympani | Scala media | Scala vestibule | Basilar membrane | Reissner’s membrane |

Mark the incorrectly matched pair regarding the structure with its location and functions:-
| 1. | Otolith organs | Located in the utriculus and sacculus, and is related to static equilibrium |
| 2. | Organ of Corti | Located on the basilar membrane and contains hair cells that act as auditory receptors |
| 3. | Visual cortex area | Located on the temporal lobe where sight impulses are analyzed and the retinal image is recognised. |
| 4. | Ear ossicles | Located in the middle ear cavity and increase the efficiency of transmission of sound waves to the inner ear. |

Which of the following statements is not correct?
| 1. | An action potential in an axon does not move backward because the segment behind is in a refractory phase. |
