Fundamentals for Communication

Sciences and Disorders, Neuroscience

Final ENMU (Linda Weems) Q&A Rated

A+


Plasticity - ✔✔the brain's capacity for modification, as evident in brain

reorganization following damage (especially in children) and in experiments

on the effects of experience on brain development

frontal lobe - ✔✔associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech,

movement, emotions, and problem solving

parietal lobe - ✔✔receives sensory input for touch and body position

temporal lobe - ✔✔A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for hearing

and language.

occipital lobe - ✔✔A region of the cerebral cortex that processes visual

information

,©NINJANERD 2024/2025. YEAR PUBLISHED 2024.
limbic lobe - ✔✔located in the center of the brain beneath the other four

cerebral lobes; influences motivation, emotion, learning, and memory

insular cortex - ✔✔Primary cortical processing area for taste. The part of

the cortex that first receives taste information

motor cortex (precentral gyrus) - ✔✔the section of the frontal lobe

responsible for voluntary movement

somatosensory cortex (postcentral gyrus) - ✔✔area at the front of the

parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movement

sensations

visual cortex - ✔✔The visual processing areas of cortex in the occipital lobe

auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus) - ✔✔the area of the temporal lobe

responsible for processing sound information

Central Fissure (sulcus) - ✔✔Separates frontal lobe from parietal lobe

lateral fissure (sylvian fissure) - ✔✔separates temporal lobe from frontal

and parietal lobes

Broca's area - ✔✔Controls language expression - an area of the frontal

lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements

involved in speech.

Wernicke's area - ✔✔controls language reception - a brain area involved in

language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe

midbrain function - ✔✔(mesencephalon) relay center for visual and auditory

information, controls eye and bodily movements

Pons function - ✔✔bridge to connect medulla, midbrain, and cerebellum

(message relay center); contains olivary complex; aids in localization of

sound.

medulla oblongata - ✔✔Part of the brainstem that controls vital life-

sustaining functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and

digestion; pyramidal decussation

Central Nervous System (CNS) - ✔✔brain and spinal cord

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - ✔✔the sensory and motor neurons

that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body.

The PNS includes: - ✔✔somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous

system

somatic nervous system - ✔✔Division of the PNS that controls the body's

skeletal muscles.

, ©NINJANERD 2024/2025. YEAR PUBLISHED 2024.
autonomic nervous system - ✔✔the part of the PNS that controls the

glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its

sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.

Rostral - ✔✔toward the nose (front of the brain)

Caudal - ✔✔toward the tail (back of the brain)

Dorsal - ✔✔toward the back (top of the brain)

Ventral - ✔✔toward the stomach (bottom of the brain)

sagittal plane - ✔✔divides body into left and right

midsagittal plane - ✔✔divides the body into equal right and left sides

Coronal - ✔✔front and back

horizontal - ✔✔Going straight across from side to side

Transverse - ✔✔Divides body into upper and lower parts

lateral - ✔✔away from the midline

medial - ✔✔toward the midline

Decussation - ✔✔crossing over

bifurcation - ✔✔division into two

Ipsilateral - ✔✔same side

Contralateral - ✔✔opposite side
