Question

The auditory nerve gets its inputs from which of the following?
  1. The sense cells of the cochlea
  2. Vibration for the last ossicle
  3. Eustachian tube
  4. Vibration of the tympanic membrance

A
Vibration for the last ossicle
B
Eustachian tube
C
Vibration of the tympanic membrance
D
The sense cells of the cochlea
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The cochlear nerve carries auditory sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the brain. Hence, the auditory nerve gets it's inputs from the sense cells of the cochlea.
So, the correct answer is A.
