- 1. PHYSIOLOGY OF SPEECH Prof. Sultan Ayoub Meo MBBS, M.Phil, Ph.D (Pak), Med Ed, Med Ed, (Dundee), FRCP (London), FRCP (Dublin), FRCP (Glasgow), FRCP (Edinburgh) Prof. Department of Physiology College of Medicine, King Saud University
- 2. Definition: Speech may be defined as the means of communication between the two individual or group of individuals Means of communications: Sensory Or Motor Sensory Communication Auditory communication Visual communication Motor Communications: Power of taking writing SPEECH
- 3. STEPS OF COMMUNICATION Steps of Communications Collection of sensory input: Auditory and visual Integration: hearing and articulation mechanism Motor execution
- 4. Brain Areas Concerned with Speech / Language Wernick’s Area Broca’a Area Speech articulation Area in Insula Motor Cortex Angular Gyrus Aud Assoc Areas
- 5. Broca's Area. A special region in the frontal cortex, called Broca's area, provides the neural circuitry for word formation. This area, is located partly in the posterior lateral prefrontal cortex and partly in the premotor area. It is here that plans and motor patterns for expressing individual words or even short phrases are initiated and executed. This area also works in close association with Wernicke's language comprehension center in the temporal association cortex, SPEECH CENTRES
- 9. The most important association areas are Parieto-occipitotemporal association area Prefrontal association area Limbic association area. ASSOCIATION AREAS These areas receive and analyze signals simultaneously from multiple regions of both the motor and sensory cortices as well as from sub-cortical structures.
- 10. PARIETO-OCCIPITOTEMPORAL ASSOCIATION AREAS 1. Analysis of the Spatial Coordinates of the Body. 2. Area for Language Comprehension. 3. Area for Initial Processing of Visual Language (Reading). 4. Area for Naming Objects.
- 11. PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND ASSOCIATION AREAS
- 13. APHASIA APHASIA IS LOSS OF OR DEFECTIVE LANGUAGE FROM DAMAGE TO THE SPEECH CENTRES WITHIN THE LEFT HEMISPHERE. CATEGORICAL HEMISPHERE PLEASE NOTE THAT IN APHASIA THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO VISION, HEARING OR MOTOR PARALYSIS.THE DAMAGE IS IN SPEECH CENTERS IN CATEGORICAL HEMISPHERES
- 14. ANOMIC: Unable to name the objects NON FLUENT Understanding normal but Voice production defective GLOBAL: Mixture of all APHASIA FLUENT: Meaningless words with loss of comprehension / understanding BROCA'S AREA WERNICK’S AREA CONDUCTION APHASIA ANGULAR GYRUS WIDESPREAD DAMAGE TO SPEECH AREAS EXPRESSIVE RECEPTIVE
- 15. AREA LESION FAETURES Auditory association areas Word deafness Visual association areas Word blindness called dyslexia Wernicke's Aphasia Unable to interpret the thought Broca's Area Causes Motor Aphasia Global Aphasia Unable to interpret the thought Motor Aphasia
- 16. ARTICULATION Means the muscular movements of the mouth, tongue, larynx, vocal cords Responsible for the intonations, timing, and rapid changes in intensities of the sequential sounds.
- 19. DYSARTHRIA DYSARTHRIA: MEANS DISORDER IN ARTICULATION e.g., SLURRED SPEECH Dysarthria disturbances of the articulation in which contents of speech (Language) is unaffected In some individuals who has no abnormality in the speech centre or in its pathways results in stuttering speech
- 20. DYSARTHRIA Slurred speech. Language is intact, aphasia. Paralysis, slowing or in coordination of muscles of articulation or local discomfort causes various different patterns of dysarthria. Examples • gravelly' speech of upper motor neuronal lesions of lower cranial nerves, • jerky, ataxic speech of cerebellar lesions (Scannimg Speech), •the monotone of Parkinson's disease (Slurred), •speech in myasthenia that fatigues and dies away. Many aphasic patients are also somewhat dysarthric. DISORDERED ARTICULATION
- 21. STUTTERING Have right cerebral dominance and widespread overactivity in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. This includes increased activity of the supplementary motor area.
- 22. PHONATION Sound production by passage of air over the vocal cord. Dysphonia: Abnormal sound production due to problem in vocal cord e.g., paralysis, CVA, other causes Causes: Paralysis of both vocal cord e.g whispering sound and inspiratory strider Paralysis of left vocal cord: The voice becomes week and cough bovine. Mainly due to recurrent laryngeal palsy
- 23. GLOBAL APHASIA (CENTRAL APHASIA) This means the combination of the expressive problems of Broca's aphasia and the loss of comprehension of Wernicke's. The patient can neither speak nor understand language. It is due to widespread damage to speech areas and is the commonest aphasia after a severe left hemisphere infarct. Writing and reading are also affected.
