Anatomy
The Vestibulocochlear nerve is part of this cranial nerve.
What is VII
The vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve is responsible for handling this.
What is balance
This is the nerve that connects the systems of hearing and balance to the brain.
What is the vestibulocochlear nerve
The cochlea makes about these many turns.
What is 2 3/4
This system of the body contains the brain and the spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
The cochlear or auditory portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve is responsible for handling this
What is hearing and localization of sound.
These are cells that transmit electrochemical information within the nervous system of the body.
What are neurons
This membrane separates the scala media and the scala vestibuli
What is Reissner's membrane?
The cochlea, vestibule, and these are all housed in the bony labyrinth.
What are the semi-circular canals
This is the function of the cochlea.
What is hearing and auditory transduction.
These are the neurons that carry sensory information (touch, taste, smell, hearing, vision) from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system.
What are afferent neurons?
This fluid is found in the scala vestibuli and the scala tympani
What is perilymph?
The vestibulocochlear and facial nerves are housed here.
What is the internal auditory canal.
These cells transform the sound vibrations in the fluids of the cochlea into electrical signals.
What are inner hair cells?
These are neurons that carry information from the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system (e.g., instructions to the leg muscles that allow us to walk).
What are efferent neurons
There are about this many inner hair cells and this many outer hair cells in one human ear.
What is 3,500 and 12,000
