Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inner hair cells are responsible for the vast majority of the signals sent to the cochlear nerve, with approximately 95 percent of its axons receiving input from inner hair cells. The cell bodies of these neurons are located within the spiral ganglion, not the ventral medulla (B). The signals carried by the cochlear nerve are generated by inner hair cells (C), not outer hair cells. The release of neurotransmitter from the hair cells depolarizes the cochlear nerve fibers, not hyperpolarizes them (D). While the cochlear nerve does project to the auditory cortex, it first passes through several nuclei in the brainstem and thalamus (E).
