Benthic organisms live on the ocean floor, where photosynthesis cannot occur. Since they cannot feed on any plants or living things that require photosynthesis to live, they must feed on either falling nutrients or on each other. Due to the lack of a stable food source, life progresses slowly and survival isn't a promise.

Some ecologists are concerned because the result of the ecological footprint shows that the demand of the population is increasing in comparison to the supply of nature.

An acoustic neuroma is a tumor that arises from neurolemmocytes surrounding the vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear nerv

Luda [366]

Answer: The nearby nerve that can be affected by this tumour is the FACIAL NERVE.

Explanation:

As stated in the question, the acoustic neuroma is a tumor that arises from the vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve which is the VIII ( 8th) cranial nerve.

VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE: These nerves are composed of two distinct sets of fibres, vestibular nerves and cochlear nerves.

The vestibular nerves arise from the semicircular canals of the inner ear and convey impulses to the cerebellum. They are associated with the maintenance of posture and balance. The cochlear nerves originate in the spiral organ in the inner ear and convey impulses to the hearing areas in the cerebral cortex where sound is perceived.

The Facial nerve, also called the 7th cranial nerve, which are the motor fibres that supply the muscles of facial expression. It lies adjacent to the vestibulocochlear nerve as they pass through the internal auditory canal which is located at the petrous part of the temporal bone. As the tumor grows, the facial nerve would be affected because it's the closest nerve to the VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR nerve..
