Question

cranial nerve for hearing and equilibrium
which cranial nerve carries information about hearing and head movement (equilibrium) to the brain?
trochlear nerve (cn v)
abducens nerve (cn vi)
vestibulocochlear nerve (cn viii)
trigeminal nerve (cn iv)

Explanation:

The trochlear nerve (CN IV) controls eye movement. The abducens nerve (CN VI) also controls eye movement. The trigeminal nerve (CN V) is involved in sensation and motor functions of the face. The vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII) has two branches - the cochlear branch for hearing and the vestibular branch for equilibrium (head movement).

Answer:

Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII)
