Steven had a stroke resulting in his having difficulty speaking. Ruth suffered a severe nerve injury to her left arm while working, but after a few weeks regained full use of her arm. Why is Steven having difficulty regaining his speaking ability; whereas, Ruth has regained full function in her arm. Base your answer on nervous system regeneration and repair. Please respond with 1-2 paragraphs. (Hint: Section 12.10) Even though both injuries are nervous system injuries. There is a major difference between these two injuries: Central Nervous System versus Peripheral Nervous System!
