Question

Which of the following is true of the cochlea,organ of Corti,and CN VIII? All are
A) concerned with hearing.
B) concerned with balance.
C) middle ear structures.
D) concerned with bone conduction.

Accepted Answer

The cochlea, organ of Corti, and CN VIII are all structures involved in the process of hearing. The cochlea is a part of the inner ear and contains the sensory cells responsible for detecting sound. The organ of Corti is located within the cochlea and contains the hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals. CN VIII, or the vestibulocochlear nerve, is responsible for transmitting these signals from the inner ear to the brain. Together, these structures play a critical role in our ability to hear.
