Auditory Nerve

Auditory nerve, or vestibulocochlear nerve is the eighth nerve of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves. It comes from a combination of vestibular and cochlear nerve in the inner ear. Therefore, the auditory nerve is composed of fibers that transmit nerve impulses from the balance and space, which is derived from the bipolar cells in the vestibular ganglion contact with the semicircular canals, and fiber that comes from the sense of hearing in the body of Corti in the cochlea. Auditory nerve (VIII) sends nerve impulses to the brain via the spinal accipital lobe.
