University(100% Correct!!)
Cerebellum - ANSWERplays a role in motor coordination, balance, and movement
Brain Stem - ANSWERcontrols breathing, and heart rate. It is the pathway for motor and sensory
nerves carrying information to and from the brain
Wernicke's Area - ANSWERPrimary Language area. responsible for comprehension and formulation
of language
frontal lobe - ANSWERprimary motor area. plays a role in motor planning, emotional control,
judgement, problem solving, and socialization
parietal lobe - ANSWERprimary sensory area. plays a role in experiencing pain, temperature, and
touch
occipital lobe - ANSWERprimary visual area. not involved in speech and language
temporal lobe - ANSWERprimary auditory area. (hearing) plays a role in processing sound
Broca's Area - ANSWERprovides motor planning for speech
communication - ANSWERprocess by which information is exchanged between individuals through a
common system of symbols, signs, or behavior
communication disorders - ANSWERthese occur when individuals have difficulty formulating,
transmitting, receiving, or understanding language
speech - language pathologist - ANSWERprofessionals trained to identify, diagnose, treat, and help
prevent communicative disorders and swallowing disorders. They need a masters degree.
audiologist - ANSWERspecialists trained in the nonmedical treatment of hearing, balance, and other
related ear problems. They need a doctorates degree
Central Nervous System - ANSWERbrain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system - ANSWERcranial nerves, spinal nerves, autonomic nervous system
autonomic nervous system - ANSWERsympathetic and parasympathetic system
respiratory system - ANSWERprimary function is to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the lungs
to sustain life.
secondary function is to produce the power source (energy) for speech
boyle's law - ANSWERas the speed of a moving fluid (air) increases, the pressure associated with this
movement will decrease
, Myoelastic Aerodynamic Theory - ANSWERwhen 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
language - ANSWERa shared system of symbols that can be spoken, written, or signed and used for
communication and thought
speech - ANSWERour ability to relate meaning to the human voice; the oral expression of language
phoneme - ANSWERthe smallest unit of sound that can be recognized as being distinct from other
sounds within a word
Bernoulli's Principle - ANSWERpressure and volume are inversely related
energy = pressure x volume (one increases, one decreases)
what structures make up the articulatory system? - ANSWERthe vocal tract (3 cavities - pharyngeal,
oral & nasal)
what is the biological function of the articulatory system? - ANSWERmastication (chewing),
deglutition (swallowing), and disease prevention (tonsils/adenoids)
what is the speech function of the articulatory system? - ANSWERto produce speech sounds
(phonemes)
abductor - ANSWERopening of the vocal folds
adductor - ANSWERclosing of the focal folds
vegetative sounds - ANSWERoccur secondary to activities for sustaining life - chewing, burping,
yawning, swallowing
reduplicated babbling - ANSWERcombines 2 sounds and produces nonvarying repetitions
variegated babbling - ANSWERcombining consonants and vowels in a variety of combinations
jargon - ANSWERmeaningless combinations produced with adult - like stress and rhythm, so they
sound like real words
what 4 processes consist of the Communication Process - ANSWERformulating: ability to put
thoughts and ideas into words or signs or symbols
transmitting: organizing and coordinating speech muscles or limbs (signing) with thoughts and ideas
receiving: our ability to use our sensory systems (hearing, vision, touch) to transmit information to
the brain
comprehending: decoding and understanding the message that was sent
What are the 3 layers of the meninges? - ANSWERdura mater: closest to skull/spinal column
