What carry the impulses from the ear to the brain?
The impulses from the ear are carried to the brain by the auditory nerve, also known as the eighth cranial nerve or vestibulocochlear nerve. This nerve is responsible for transmitting sound and balance information from the inner ear to the brainstem.
What is the name of the structure leading from the ear to the brain?
You have a nerve that carry the impulses from inner ear to brain. It is sensory nerve. It is the 8th nerve. It is called as vestibulocochlear nerve.
What is the part of the brain cell that runs to and from nerves and muscles in response to signals from the brain?
it is the inner skull membrane
Does the olfactory tract carry equilibrium impulses?
No, the olfactory tract is responsible for carrying sensory information related to the sense of smell from the nose to the brain. Equilibrium impulses are carried by the vestibulocochlear nerve, which relays information about balance and spatial orientation from the inner ear to the brain.
Does the efferent system sends information from the brain to spinal cord throughout the body?
You are correct; efferent neurons carry impulses from your brain to/and spinal cord throughout the body. Efferent nerves, otherwise known as motor or effector neurons, carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors (such as muscles or glands and also the ciliated cells of the inner ear).The term 'efferent' can also be used in more localized locations (though still in the nervous system). For example, a neuron's efferent synapse provides input to another neuron, and not vice-versa. Vice-versa would be afferent. (see below)The opposite of efferent neurons are afferent, which are neurons that carry impulses from the body back to the brain. An easy mnemonic: Efferent connections Exit. Afferent connections Arrive.Hope this helps!
Where in the ear in sound changed into signals that are sent to the brain?
The inner ear is responsible for converting sound waves into neural impulses that are sent to the brain.
Can the brain be viewed as an organ that creates inner movies based on inputs from the sensory nerves?
Yes, that is one of the things that the brain does.
What contains receptor that convert sound vibrations to impulses sent to the brain?
The cochlea in the inner ear contains receptors called hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical impulses. These impulses are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are interpreted as sound.
What organ detects sound?
The ear drum. Then the ear drum pass the vibrations onto the hammer, stirrup, and anvil (the smallest bones in the human body in the inner ear), where nerves send electrical impulses called synapses to the brain. The brain processes the vibrations and sends you the sound the noise created.
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 transmits sound waves to the inner ear making waves in the fluid in the cochlea?
The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea). ... The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.
What transmits sound from the inner ear to the brain?
The auditory nerve transmits sound signals from the inner ear to the brain. It carries electrical impulses generated by the hair cells in the cochlea to the brainstem, where the signals are further processed and interpreted as sound.
