Which cranial nerve controls both body balance and hearing?
I believe that the vestibulocochlear nerve controls balance and hearing.
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.
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 Cranial nerve II called?
The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
What nerves are involved in diplopia?
The nerves involved in diplopia include three cranial nerves: the oculomotor nerve (third cranial nerve), the abducens nerve (sixth cranial nerve), and the trochlear nerve (fourth cranial nerve).
Which cranial nerve controls both body balance and hearing?
I believe that the vestibulocochlear nerve controls balance and hearing.
Cranial nerve for sense of hearing?
The vestibulocochlear cranial nerve controls hearing.
What cranial nerve would involve tightrope walking and listening to music?
The Vestibulocochlear nerve is associated with balance and hearing. Vestibulo-balance, cochlear-hearing.
What Cranial nerve is equilibrium and hearing?
The cranial nerve responsible for hearing and equilibrium is vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It originates from between the pons and medulla.
What cranial nerve controls the ears?
auditory nerve
What cranial nerve is used when smelling a flower?
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
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.
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.
What is the function of cranial nerves?
cranial nerve I: olfactory:smell cranial nerve II:optic:vision cranial nerve III: oculomotor: 4 of 6 eye muscles cranial nerve IV: trochlear: cranial nerve V: Trigeminal cranial nerve VI: Abducens cranial nerve VII: Facial cranial nerve VIII: Vestibulochlear: hearing cranial nerve IX: Grosspharnxgeal: saliva formation cranial nerve X: Vegus cranial nerve XI: Acessory Spinal: trapizious movement cranial nerve XII: Hypoglosseal: toungue movement
What cranail bone is for balance?
Do you mean which "cranial nerve" is used for balance? The VIII (8th) cranial nerve provides the brain with the sensation of hearing and balance. Balance is largely influenced by the vestibular system using semi-circular canals filled with fluid to detect the head's position and acceleration. There is no such thing as a "cranail" bone. And no bones are used for the detection or adjustment of balance.
Which cranial nerve transmits hearing and equilibrium information to the brain?
vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
What crainal nerve involved in listening to music?
Cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear or auditory) is predominantly sensory. The vestibular branch is involved in balance and equilibrium. The cochlear branch is involved in hearing.
