which part of the brain is primarily involved in the production of speech?
Broca’s
Pyramidal decussation or motor decussation occurs in the:
medulla oblongata
which brain region is primarily responsible for processing auditory language?
Wernicke’s
the cerebellum contributes to which aspect of speech?
coordination and timing of speech movements
apraxia of speech primarily affects:
the ability to plan and coordinate speech movements
neural plasticity refers to:
the brain’s ability to form new connections after injury
this artery is responsible for providing blood supply to the primary motor cortex and is most often occluded in a stroke.
middle cerebral artery (MCA)
this intrinsic muscle of the larynx is innervated by the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN):
cricothyroid
which of the following intervention strategies is most appropriate for a child with speech sound disorders?
A. increasing sentence length
B. targeting specific phonemes using visual feedback
C. enhancing vocabulary
D. focusing on fluency techniques
B. targeting specific phonemes using visual feedback
feedback in speech production primarily involves:
auditory and sensory input during communication
which cranial nerve is most directly involved in the movement of the tongue?
CN XII (hypoglossal)
which neurological disorder is most likely to result in HYPOkinetic dysarthria?
parkinson’s disease
efferent
motor
exit
afferent
sensory
arrives
pyramidal
tracts (originate in CEREBRAL CORTEX) carry fibers to spinal cord/ brainstem
*Voluntary!!!!
extrapyramidal
tracts (originate in BRAINSTEM) carry fibers to spinal cord
*Involuntary & automatic!!!!
UMN
cerebral cortex/ brainstem
transmit nerve impulses from brain to lower motor neurons
