hearing and balance
Each ear has three main nerves: the vestibulocochlear nerve, the facial nerve, and the vestibular nerve. These nerves are responsible for hearing, balance, and facial movement.
Cranial nerves arise from the brain and are responsible for functions such as facial muscles, vision, and taste. Sacral nerves arise from the lower spinal cord and control functions of the pelvis and lower extremities.
The vagus nerves pass through the neck and thorax, traveling from the brainstem down to the abdomen. They are the longest of the cranial nerves and play a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and respiratory functions.
Nerves carry messages to the muscles to react. Nerves help us feel pain, heat, and cold.
When the 7th (facial) and 8th (vestibulocochlear) cranial nerves appear grossly normal, it indicates that there are no visible abnormalities or lesions affecting these nerves upon examination. This suggests that the nerves are intact and functioning properly, which is important for facial movement, sensation, and hearing/balance. Such findings can help rule out certain neurological conditions or injuries. However, further testing may still be necessary to assess their function more thoroughly.
Vestibulocochlear Nerve (VIII)
Cranial nerve VIII - vestibulocochlear
Each ear has three main nerves: the vestibulocochlear nerve, the facial nerve, and the vestibular nerve. These nerves are responsible for hearing, balance, and facial movement.
The eighth cranial nerve or the vestibulocochlear nerve is dedicated to auditory apparatus.
Nerves that concern muscular movement.
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.
four cranial nerves (V or trigeminal, VI or abducens, VII or facial, & VIII or vestibulocochlear)
The 8th. Hey - I remembered it, the vestibulocochlear nerve.
Afferent nerves carry impulses to the CNS (central nervous system: brain/spinal chord).
Cranial nerves involved in proprioception include the trigeminal nerve (V), the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII), and the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). These nerves are responsible for relaying sensory information related to position sense and movement of the head, neck, and inner ear structures.
what is the cholinergic forebrain nerves functions?
A mixed nerve contains both sensory and motor nerves. Sensory nerves carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, while motor nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.
