Communication
Definition
complex process in which information is exchanged between two or more people. Effective when message intended by the sender and the message perceived by the receiver are the same.
Term
Broca's Area
Definition

located in frontal lobe

center of motor speech control

Responsible for controlling muscles of the mouth, tongue and larynx, which are involved in the production of speech

Term
Wernike's Area
Definition

Located in Temporal Lobe

helps control content of speech and affects auditory and visual comprehension

transmits information to Broca's area

Important for reading and auditory comprehension, spontaneous conversation and the ability to process sensory information into coherent thoughts

Term
6 Cranial nerves involved in speech
Definition

5-Trigeminal nerve- controls lower jaw and tongue (can cause sloppy speech)

7- facial nerve-facial expression, eyelids cheeks and lips (helps formulate consents and vowels)

9- glossopharyngeal-motor fibers to the pharynx and controls the movement of throat muscles

10- vagus nerve-stimulates soft palate, pharynx and larynx

11- spinal accessory nerve- controls the muscles of the pharynx, soft palate, head and shoulders

12-hypoglossal nerve-tongue movements, essential for articulation

Term
Global Aphasia
Definition
most severe form of aphasia, results from damage to both Broca's (expressive) and Wernike's (receptive)
Term
