5. _________________________ area is involved in language comprehension.

6. The _________________________ gyrus is involved in facial recognition.

7. The _________________________ sulcus divides the parietal and frontal lobes.

8. The _________________________ fissure divides the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe.

9. The _________________________ is involved in rhythmic or repetitive movements.

10. The _________________________ receives nearly all body sensations that will terminate in the cerebral cortex.

11. The _________________________ houses nuclei of the cranial nerves.

Answer 1

1. It is the Wernicke's area that is responsible for the comprehension of speech. The gyrus which is particularly responsible for the same is the superior temporal gyrus.

2. The temporal lobe of the brain is the one that helps in auditory reception. However, the gyrus which helps in the temporal lobe in specific is the Heschel's gyrus. It is also known as the transverse temporal gyrus

3. It is perhaps the supplementary motor area of the brain that is involved with motor rehearsal acts.

4. It is the Broca's area of the brain that is responsible solely for expressing language.

5. As mentioned in the first answer, it is the Wernicke's area that is involved here.

6. It is the fusiform face area also known as FFA that helps us in face recognition. The gyrus in particular here is the fusiform gyrus.
