What nerves carry signals to and from the eyes and ears?
The oculomotor nerve or the third cranial nerve, trochlear or forth cranial nerve and abducent or the sixth cranial nerve carry signal to your eye. The optic nerve carry the signal from the eye to the brain. Vestibulocochlear or the eighth cranial nerve carry the signal from your ear to the brain.
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 structures carry action potentials caused by sound transduction?
Action potentials caused by sound transduction are carried by the auditory nerve fibers, which are part of the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). These nerve fibers transmit the signals from the hair cells in the cochlea to the brainstem and auditory cortex for processing.
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 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.
Which cranial nerve is responsible for equilibrium?
The 8th. Hey - I remembered it, the vestibulocochlear nerve.
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 nerve aids in hearing?
vestibulocochlear nerve
What nerves carry signals to and from the eyes and ears?
The oculomotor nerve or the third cranial nerve, trochlear or forth cranial nerve and abducent or the sixth cranial nerve carry signal to your eye. The optic nerve carry the signal from the eye to the brain. Vestibulocochlear or the eighth cranial nerve carry the signal from your ear to the brain.
What cranial nerve is used in listening to music?
The vestibulocochlear nerve or cranial nerve 8 (CN8) is largely involved with listening to music. However the trigeminal nerve (CN5), which innervates the tensor tympani, and the facial nerve (CN7), which innervates the stapedius muscle, may alter the perception of sound and theoretically affect the perception of music.
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 eighth cranial nerve?
Cranial nerve 7 is also referred to as the facial nerve. It has both sensory and motor components. Its sensory portion is responsible for taste on the anterior two thirds of the tongue as well as sensation for a small patch of skin by the ear. Its motor component is responsible for innervating the muscles of facial expression.
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.
Which nerve carries auditory information to the brain?
Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
What is the name of the nerve for balancing the body?
vestibulocochlear
What Cranial nerve is equilibrium and hearing?
The cranial nerve responsible for both equilibrium and hearing is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two main branches: the vestibular branch, which is associated with balance and equilibrium, and the cochlear branch, which is associated with hearing.
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.
