Detailed explanation-1: -This cranial nerve has a vestibular part, which functions in balance, equilibrium, and orientation in three-dimensional space, and a cochlear part, which functions in hearing. The functional component of these fibres is special somatic afferent; they originate from receptors located in the temporal bone.
Detailed explanation-2: -The vestibulocochlear nerve or auditory vestibular nerve, also known as the eighth cranial nerve, cranial nerve VIII, or simply CN VIII, is a cranial nerve that transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain.
Detailed explanation-3: -The vestibulocochlear nerve (8th cranial nerve) is a sensory nerve. It is made up of two nerves, the cochlear, which transmits sound and the vestibular which controls balance.
Detailed explanation-4: -The vestibulocochlear or eighth cranial nerve (CN VIII) has purely special sensory afferent function. The nerve has two components, the vestibular nerve, that detects head and body motion, and the cochlear nerve that detects sound.
