Callisto survives the accident and goes to jail. Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions. Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are). Provide justification. Short answers. 1. Broca's area 2. Right posterior cerebral artery 3. Autonomic nervous system
