Question

Which statement is not true in describing the equilibrium pathways?(A) the cerebellum is vital in maintaining posture(B) axons from the vestibular nuclei connect with cranial nerves X and XII which control eye movements(C) some axons from cranial nerve VIII enter the cerebellum(D) most axons of the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII) terminate in the medulla and pons

Answer 1

The correct answer is: B) axons from the vestibular nuclei connect with cranial nerves X and XII which control eye movements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cranial nerves X (vagus nerve) and XII (hipoglossus nerve) don't control eye movements. Eye movements are controlled by the following cranial nerves: oculomotor nerve (III), trochlear nerve (IV) and abducens nerve (VI).
