Which of the following nerves arises from organ of Corti?

Options

  1. AOlfactory nerve
  2. BCochlear nerve
  3. CAbducens nerve
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

B. Cochlear nerve

Step-by-step solution

The organ of Corti consists of outer hair cells, inner hair cells, inner pillar cells, outer pillar cells, tunnel of Corti, phalangeal cells (cells of Deiters), cells of Hensen and cells of Claudius. The sensory hairs project from the outer ends of the hair cells into the scala media, while from the inner end of the cells nerve fibres arise, which unite to form the cochlear nerve.
