Hey - I remembered it, the vestibulocochlear nerve.
equilibrium, taste, tears, and tongue movement
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.
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
The olfactory nerve which is also cranial nerve number 1 is responsible for the sense of olfaction.
Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). More specifically vestibular nerve of CN VIII is responsible for equilibrium and balance.
vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
Smell impulses are carried by the cranial nerve called the olfactory nerve (cranial nerve I). It is responsible for transmitting information about odors from the nose to the brain.
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 oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) is responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accommodation.
Cranial nerve number 2 is the optic nerve, responsible for most of the sensation of sight.
