The vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII, is responsible for transmitting sensory information related to hearing and balance from the inner ear to the brain. It consists of two main components: the cochlear nerve, which carries auditory information from the cochlea, and the vestibular nerve, which conveys signals related to equilibrium and spatial orientation from the vestibular apparatus. This nerve plays a crucial role in our ability to hear and maintain balance.
The 8th. Hey - I remembered it, the vestibulocochlear nerve.
vestibulocochlear nerve
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.
The vestibular part of the vestibulocochlear nerve will send information about the equilibrium and balance.
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.
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.
