Speech are i.e,broca's area formed by pars triangularis and pars orbicularis af anterior frontal gyrus ( broadman area's 44 and 45 ) damage to middle cerebral artery leads to aphasia

Blood supply

Anterior cerebral artery -supply ant -medial surface of brain from frobtal lobe to ant.parietal lobe

Middle cerebral arteryv-dorsolateral convexityvof brain including frontal ,parietal and temporal lobe.

Posterior cerebral artery -inferior and medial temporal and occipital cortex.
