Broca's Aphasi The Nervous System

The Nervous System consists of two major divisions which are the central nervous system and he peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system consist of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system is made up of all the nerves that connect the CNS to every organ and area of the body. The brain is like a machine that controls the body’s functions, and the nervous system is like a computer that relays messages to parts of the body. The brain controls how we think, feel, learn, and remember. It also functions in allowing us to digest our food, move, talk and many others ways. When we receive messages from our brain, it tells us how to react. For example, if I accidentally fell and scrapped my knee, the nerves in my brain

Global aphasia is the most severe, and occurs when patients who comprehend a few recognizable words, understand little or no spoken language, and can neither read nor write. Broca’s aphasia also known as non – fluent aphasia is distorted speech and difficulty forming grammatical sentences in writing, but have normal comprehension. Patients may also experience frustration or speak in short sentences. Another aphasia known as Wernicke’s aphasia which is fluent aphasia is the form to grasp meaning of words when others speak, that brings damage to the middle left side of the brain. Other symptoms of Wernicke’s include not being unable to not realize that others can’t understand you or use language

A CT or MRI scan may help to find the location of the damage of the brain. The doctor may screen the patient for a brain injury or stroke. He or she may test the patient to follow commands, name objects, begin conversation, answer questions, and write words. Treatment may be optional but depends on the severity of the patient. A speech- language pathogist may also work with activities to improve language skills that were affected by the brain. He or she may also help the person return to work or school, if needed. Certain drugs may also help such as, Namenda and Piracetam can improve the blood flow to the brain, to enhance the brain’s recovery. To improve treatment research is still needed before being recommended. Ways to communicate with someone with aphasia includes, get the persons attention, maintaining eye contact, body language, minimize background noise, simply communication, engage in normal activities, and use “yes” or “no” questions other open-ended questions.

Many diseases or conditions may not be curable, but have options to be prevented. Aphasia may be prevented if the patient stops smoking, no alcohol consumption, exercise daily, maintain a healthy diet, control blood pressure, get help for atrial fibrillation if needed, and get medical care if signs of a stroke
