Cerebellum - correct answer ✔✔plays a role in motor coordination, balance, and movement
Brain Stem - correct answer ✔✔controls breathing, and heart rate. It is the pathway for motor
and sensory nerves carrying information to and from the brain
Wernicke's Area - correct answer ✔✔Primary Language area. responsible for comprehension
and formulation of language
frontal lobe - correct answer ✔✔primary motor area. plays a role in motor planning, emotional
control, judgement, problem solving, and socialization
parietal lobe - correct answer ✔✔primary sensory area. plays a role in experiencing pain,
temperature, and touch
occipital lobe - correct answer ✔✔primary visual area. not involved in speech and language
temporal lobe - correct answer ✔✔primary auditory area. (hearing) plays a role in processing
sound
Broca's Area - correct answer ✔✔provides motor planning for speech
communication - correct answer ✔✔process by which information is exchanged between
individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior
, communication disorders - correct answer ✔✔these occur when individuals have difficulty
formulating, transmitting, receiving, or understanding language
speech - language pathologist - correct answer ✔✔professionals trained to identify, diagnose,

dioxide in the lungs to sustain life.
secondary function is to produce the power source (energy) for speech
boyle's law - correct answer ✔✔as the speed of a moving fluid (air) increases, the pressure
associated with this movement will decrease
Myoelastic Aerodynamic Theory - correct answer ✔✔when the vocal folds are closed, pressure
builds up causing the vocal folds to open. Once air is released and pressure decreases, vocal
folds close due to their elastic nature
