CN X (Vagus)
The vestibulocochlear cranial nerve controls hearing.
The cranial nerve that innervates the ear is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two branches: the vestibular nerve that controls balance and the cochlear nerve that controls hearing.
auditory nerve
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
Nerve X, Vagus
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) slows the heart and increases motility of the digestive tract. It is part of the parasympathetic nervous system which is a branch of the autonomic nervous system.
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.
The Vagus Nerve
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) supplies innervation to most thoracic and abdominal organs, including the heart, lungs, stomach, and intestines. It plays a key role in regulating many vital functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing.
False
The vagus nerve (CN X) is the only cranial nerve that extends beyond the head and neck area. It travels throughout the body, reaching organs such as the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is responsible for regulating visceral activity. It plays a key role in controlling various internal organs, including the heart, lungs, and digestive system.
