What is the difference between the auditory nerve and optic nerve?
Auditory nerve is eighth cranial nerve. It is called as vestibulocochlear nerve. It is the nerve to meant for hearing and balancing your body. The optic nerve is second cranial nerve. It carries sensory signals from your eye to the brain. It arises from the retina of the eye.
What nerves carries messages of sound to the brain?
the cochlear nerve
What nerves combine to form the auditory nerve?
Vestibular nerve and cochlear nerve combines to form the vestibulocochlear nerve or the auditory nerve.
Is the optic nerve a single nerve or a bunch of nerves connected?
It is a bundle of neurons, all flowing from the same general source (the eye) to the optic chiasm.
What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction between the retina and the optic nerve is the optic disc.
What is a difference between optic nerve and auditory nerve?
Optic nerve is found in the eye which sends the nerve impulses from the eye to the brain. The auditory nerve is present in the ear and sends the nerve impulses from the ear to the brain. They both have the same functions though they're present in different places.

Are your eyes connected to your brain by auditory nerves or optic nerves?
The Optic Nerve AKA Cranial Nerve II from eye to brain for sight and Craniel Nerves III (Oculomotor) and IV (Trochlear) for Eye movement.
Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).
What nerves carries messages of sound to the brain?
the cochlear nerve
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
How do auditory pathways carry nerve impulses to auditory cortices?
the auditory nerve pathways carry impulses to the auditory cortices in the ?
What nerves combine to form the auditory nerve?
Vestibular nerve and cochlear nerve combines to form the vestibulocochlear nerve or the auditory nerve.
Is the optic nerve a single nerve or a bunch of nerves connected?
It is a bundle of neurons, all flowing from the same general source (the eye) to the optic chiasm.
What is the point where the optic nerve enters the eyeball?
Point where optic nerve enters eyeball is the optic disc.
What is the junction of the retina and optic nerve?
The junction between the retina and the optic nerve is the optic disc.
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
