What is the name of the nerve that takes information about balance and hearing to the brain?
The vestibular part of the vestibulocochlear nerve will send information about the equilibrium and balance.
Which cranial nerve controls both body balance and hearing?
The vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII) is responsible for both hearing (cochlear function) and balance (vestibular function). It carries information from the inner ear to the brain, allowing us to hear and maintain our sense of balance.
What is acoustic neuroma?
Acoustic neuroma is a non-cancerous growth (a tumour) in the brain. It grows on the acoustic nerve in the brain, the nerve that controls hearing and balance. The common symptoms are hearing loss and vertigo.
What nerves are associated with sight and hearing?
The optic nerve is associated with sight, transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. The vestibulocochlear nerve is associated with hearing and balance, transmitting auditory and vestibular information from the inner ear to the brain.
What cranial nerve would involve tightrope walking and listening to music?
The Vestibulocochlear nerve is associated with balance and hearing. Vestibulo-balance, cochlear-hearing.
Which cranial nerve controls hearing and body balance?
The cranial nerve that controls hearing and body balance is the vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII. It has two main branches: the cochlear branch, responsible for hearing, and the vestibular branch, responsible for balance and spatial orientation.
Which sensation does the vestibulocochlear nerve carry?
The vestibulocochlear nerve carries sensations related to hearing (cochlear portion) and balance (vestibular portion). It is responsible for transmitting information from the inner ear to the brain for auditory and vestibular processing.
Definition of Nervus vestibulocochlearisis?
This is an inflammation of a composite sensory nerve supplying the hair cells of the vestibular organ and the hair cells of the cochlea. This nerve carries sound and balance information to the brain. An inflammation will cause a disturbance in hearing and balance.
Which cranial nerve transmits hearing and equilibrium information to the brain?
vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
What is the medical term meaning pertaining to sensory receptors for hearing and balance?
Vestibulocochlear is the term for the nerve that carries sound and balance information to the brain from the ear.
What is Vestibular nerve sectioning?
The surgeon enters the internal canal of the ear and separates the nerve bundles governing hearing from the nerve bundles that govern the sense of balance, in order to control the patient's vertigo without sacrificing hearing
Which of the cranial nerves transmit from the cochlea and semicircular canals to the brain?
The vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII, is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear (responsible for hearing) and the semicircular canals (responsible for balance) to the brainstem.
