?Cochlear nu-receptors- hair cells in Organ of Corti
?1st order neuron- spiral ganglion- bipolar neurons ?

peripheral process- hair cells of spiral ganglion ? central
processes & axons - cochlear nerve- bifurcates & terminate

in Dorsal & Ventral Cochlear Nu ? 2nd order neurons -
dorsal & ventral ? axons CROSS & few uncrossed in dorsal
part of Lower part of pons - Superior Olivary nucleus-

language & interpretation of sound.
Auditory areas

?Lesion of primary auditory area 41 & 42 of one side

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

produces bilateral partial deafness, b/o bilateral
receiving of inputs via medial geniculate body.
