Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing

With many exciting enhancements and robust online resources, the seventh edition of Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing provides a solid foundation in anatomical and physiological principles relevant to the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. The text is supported by an innovative study software program called ANAQUEST that includes interactive lessons, animations, and videos to further help students master the complex material. This bestselling text is organized around the five "classic" systems of speech, language and hearing: the respiratory, phonatory, articulatory/resonatory, nervous, and auditory systems. Integrating clinical information with everyday experiences to reveal how anatomy and physiology relate to the speech, language, and hearing systems, the text introduces all the essential anatomy and physiology information in a carefully structured way, helping students to steadily build their knowledge and successfully apply it to clinical practice. Hundreds of dynamic, full-color illustrations and online lessons make the complex material approachable even for students with little or no background in anatomy and physiology. Key Features560+ figures and tables provide visual examples of the anatomy, processes, body systems, and data discussed. Photographs of human specimens provide a real-life look at the body parts and functionsChapter pedagogy includes:Learning objectives, call outs to related ANAQUEST lessons, bolded key terms, and chapter summariesClinical notes boxes relate topics directly to clinical experience to emphasize the importance of anatomy in clinical practice Margin notes identify important terminology, root words, and definitions, that are highlighted in color throughout each chapter"To summarize" sections provide a succinct listing of the major topics covered in a chapter or chapter sectionMuscle tables describe the origin, course, insertion, innervation, and function of key muscles and muscle groups Glossary with 2,000+ terms and definitionsComprehensive bibliography in each chapter with 600+ references throughout the textMultiple online appendices include an alphabetical listing of anatomical terms, useful combining forms, and listings of sensors and cranial nervesNew to the Seventh EditionAddition of clinical cases related to neurophysiology and hearingRevised and updated physiology of swallowing includes discussion of postnatal development and aging effects of the swallowing mechanism and functionBrief discussion of the basics of genetics and trait transmissionOverview of prenatal development as it relates to the mechanisms of speech and hearingPresentation of prenatal and postnatal development for each of the systems of speech and hearing, as well as the effects of aging on each systemLearning objectives have been added to the beginning of each chapterChapter study questions have been moved online so students can take interactive quizzes with scoresThe helpful appendices moved online to reduce the length and weight of the print bookFor instructors, the test questions and slides have been updated and expandedThe ANAQUEST study software has been updated with new illustrations from the text, and lessons to match the content newly added to the bookPluralPlus Online AncillariesFor instructors:A version of the ANAQUEST software for upload to Learning Management Systems (LMS).
