Answer: Broca's area

Explanation:

Broca's area is primarily responsible for producing speech. It controls motor functions involved with speech production. It is a region in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere, usually the left, of the brain.

People who have damage to this area of the brain can understand words but struggle to put them together in speech. Tony clearly has no problem processing what is being said but because of the damage he can't put his thoughts to words.

Answer:

Broca's area  

Explanation:

In neurology and medicine, Broca's area is the are of the brain that is associated with the ability to produce speech. This area is located in the left side of the brain and in the frontal lobe. The main function of this area is production of speech. Most of the time, when we hit our head and our speech is affected (without our muscles of our face being affected) it is likely that the problem lies in Broca's area.

In this example, <u>Tony fell and the </u><u>left</u><u> side of his head hit some concrete steps. </u>Now, he can understand what other people are saying to him but he has a hard time speaking, in other words, <u>the production of speech is being affected. </u>Therefore, it is most likely that Tony suffered damage to Broca's area

How are DNA profiling and blood connected?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Hi there,

They are connected because both of them find identities to someone. All DNA Profiling is, is using either semen, blood, urine, even a strand of hair to test and find whoever left those categories behind. It is used in forensic science that is where they can find the victim's identity or find the suspect.

DNA Profiling and Blood are the same things, in fact, blood IS part of DNA profiling it helps with the testing process in forensic science.

I hope this helped :)

In your opinion, whose professional role is it in healthcare to encourage patients to understand and take ownership of preventat
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

By my reckoning, as a professional in healthcare, I'd answer your question that way:

Explanation:

All health professionals have a duty to provide this type of service, giving emphasis on preventive medicine since prevention will always be better than cure - better safe than sorry - but of course, it's clear that family doctors have much more opportunities to provide these kinds of service than those who have specialized areas.
