Solution

Auditory nerves:

  1. These nerves are concerned with hearing.
  2. They have two branches namely the cochlear nerve and the vestibular nerve.
  3. Each hair cell of the Organ of Corti is connected to the cochlear nerve.
  4. The hair cells of the utriculus, sacculus, and ampulla are connected to the vestibular nerve.
  5. The auditory information from the cochlea present in the inner ear is transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerves.

Hence, an auditory nerve transmits impulses from the ear to the brain.
