What is another name for the auditory nerve?
VESTIBULO-COCHLEAR nerve which is 8th cranial nerve.
Which cranial nerve is responsible for equilibrium?
The 8th. Hey - I remembered it, the vestibulocochlear nerve.
What part of the ear send messages to the brain?
The vestibulocochlear nerve, or 8th cranial nerve.
What part of the ear send the message to the brain?
The vestibulocochlear nerve, or 8th cranial nerve.
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.
Problems in balance may follow trauma to what nerve?
Problems in balance may follow trauma to the vestibulocochlear (8th cranial) nerve, specifically the vestibular branch responsible for balance and spatial orientation. This nerve provides information about head position and movement to the brain, and damage can lead to symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance.
What nerve is also known as the acoustic or auditory nerve?
The 8th Cranial nerve has a lot of common names, but it always begins in the inner ear and ends in the brain.Here are names for the same nerve from different texts:Acoustic nerveAuditory nerveCochlear nerveAuditory vestibular nerveVestibulocochlear nerve is the preferred name8th Cranial Nerve
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.
Where is cranialnerve 8?
The 8th Cranial nerve is the trigeminal nerve it has three divisions, the opthalmic supplying the area around the eye, the maxillary division supplying the upper jaw and the mandibular supplying the lower jaw.
What is the function of cochlea nerve?
The cochlear nerve (also auditory or acoustic nerve) is a nerve in the head that carries signals from the cochlea of the inner ear to the brain. It is part of the vestibulocochlear nerve, the 8th cranial nerve which is found in higher vertebrates; the other portion of the 8th cranial nerve is the vestibular nerve which carries spatial orientation information from the semicircular canals. The cochlear nerve is a sensory nerve, one which conducts to the brain information about the environment, in this case acoustic energy impinging on the tympanic membrane. The cochlear nerve arises from within the cochlea and extends to the brainstem, where its fibers make contact with the cochlear nucleus, the next stage of neural processing in the auditory system.
What are hair like receptors located in the cochlea?
Organ of Corti; These hair-like projections (microvilli), called cilia and stereocilia, contain endings of the cochlear branch of the 8th cranial nerve.
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.
