What is the nerve that sends signals from inner ear to the brain?
auditory nerve
What is the nerve that helps transmit sound signals to your brain?
Auditory
What is the function of the auditory nerve?
The AN transfers signals originating from vibrations of the ear drum ( tympanic membrane ) to the brain for interpretation.
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 type of nerve is the auditory nerve?
In the inner ear, "sound" is translated into electrical energy. This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain via the 8th cranial nerve more commonly called the auditory, acoustic or vestibulocochlear nerve. The brain receives the information and translates it into what we "hear", or at least into what is most important for us to hear at that time.
What nerves carries messages of sound to the brain?
the cochlear 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.
What are auditory evoked potential studies used for?
Auditory evoked potentials are used to diagnose hearing losses. They can distinguish damage to the acoustic nerve (which carries signals from the ear to the brain stem) from damage to the auditory pathways within the brainstem.
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
What is the route of the auditory nerve from you ear to your brain What parts of the brain does the auditory nerve travel?
Eardrum, Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup, Cochlea, Hair Cells, Auditory Nerve.
Which part of the human ear contains the auditory nerve?
The cochlea is the part of the human that contains the auditory nerve
