- Julio D., who had recently retired, was enjoying an afternoon of playing golf when suddenly he experienced a severe headache and dizziness. These symptoms were quickly followed by numbness and partial paralysis on the tipper right side of his body, accompanied by an inability to speak. After being rushed to the emergency room, Julio was diagnosed as having suffered a stroke. Given the observed neurological impairment, what areas of his brain were affected?arrow_forwardAnatomy and Physiology motor areas of the cortex are located .............to the .............. sulcus choices a. anterior, central b. anterior, hypocampal c. posterior, central d. anterior, cyngulatearrow_forwardWhich of the following cranial nerves is INCORRECTLY matched to its function (for the tongue) Chooe one from the following: (A) trigeminal nerve CN V-3 - sensory (pain, crude touch, temperature) (B) facial nerve CN VII - taste (sweet, salty, sour from the tongue) (C) glossopharyngeal nerve CN IX - taste (bitter from the tongue) (D) vagus nerve CN X - taste from the tongue (E) hypoglossal nerve CN XII - muscles of the tonguearrow_forward
