Expert Solution

Primary language areas of brain are Broca's area and Wernicke's area .

Broca's area is in the posterior inferior frontal gyrus . Brodmann area 44 and Brodmann area 45 of the dominant hemisphere.

Wernicke's area is located in the left posterior superior temporal gyrus. Brodmann area 22

Broca's area is the motor speech area and it helps in movements required to produce speech. Also called Broca's aphasia.

Wernicke's area helps in understanding speech and using the correct words to express our thoughts.
