Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
Cranial nerve II
What is the cranial nerve that carries sound information?
The auditory nerve
Is the posterior interosseous nerve a cranial nerve or a spinal nerve?
what does ninth cranial nerve control? glossopharyngeal nerve is a mixed nerve, it has sensory and motor part. the sensory is at the poserior 1/3 of the tongue. It also is part of the pharyngeal plexus. (9,10,11) The motor part of the nerve ONLY supply the stylopharyngeus muscle!
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 is the function of cochlea nerve?
The cochlear nerve (also auditory or acoustic nerve) is a nerve in the head that carries signals from the cochlea of the inner ear to the brain. It is part of the vestibulocochlear nerve, the 8th cranial nerve which is found in higher vertebrates; the other portion of the 8th cranial nerve is the vestibular nerve which carries spatial orientation information from the semicircular canals. The cochlear nerve is a sensory nerve, one which conducts to the brain information about the environment, in this case acoustic energy impinging on the tympanic membrane. The cochlear nerve arises from within the cochlea and extends to the brainstem, where its fibers make contact with the cochlear nucleus, the next stage of neural processing in the auditory system.
Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
Cranial nerve II
What is the cranial nerve that carries sound information?
The auditory nerve
What cranial nerve carries hearing impulses to the brain?
the "vestibulocochlear" nerve is used for hearing. the hair cells of the cochlea and vestibular are how the nerve receives the information. The nerve is (VIII) out of the 12 cranial nerves.
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 cranial nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information?
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
Which cranial nerve has 3 branches?
The twelve cranial nerves can be can one of the following types:* Sensory = carry sensory innervation/information to and from certain organs * Motor = carry motor (movement) innervation to certain organs * Mixed/Both = carries both sensory and motor innervation
Which cranial nerve is not purely motor?
IX
Which of the cranial nerves transmit from the cochlea and semicircular canals to the brain?
The nerve that carries the signals to the brain is the ossicles
What are the innervation of the eye?
Cranial nerve #2 - optic nerve - special sensory for vision Cranial nerve #3 - occulomotor nerve - motor for extraoccular muscles & parasympathetic to ciliary ganglion Cranial nerve #4 - trochlear nerve - motor for extraoccular muscle (superior oblique) Cranial nerve #6 - abduscens nerve - motor for extraoccular muscle (lateral rectus)
Are cranial nerves motor or sensory?
sensory nerve
What cranial nerve motor fibers to sternocleidomastoid and trapezius?
The sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles are controlled by the accessory cranial nerve. Some call it cranial nerve XI.
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
