vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
The vestibulocochlear nerve also known as the eighth cranial nerve transmits sound and equilibrium and is common to the hearing and equilibrium functions of the inner ear.
The cranial nerve responsible for hearing and equilibrium is vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It originates from between the pons and medulla.
The vestibular part of the vestibulocochlear nerve will send information about the equilibrium and balance.
The vestibulocochlear cranial nerve controls hearing.
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.
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.
The three have this in common: - Balance - Stimulation of hair cells that generate impulse carried by the vestibular branch of cranial VIII.
8th cranial nerve - vestibulocochlear
houses hearing and equilibrium receptors
AUDITORY
I believe that the vestibulocochlear nerve controls balance and hearing.
Auditory Nerve from cochleaThe eighth cranial nerve, also called as vestibulocochlear nerve, transmits the neural impulse from inner ear to brain.the cochleaThe cochlea.
