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 t

J. Anthony (Tony) Seikel, PhD, is emeritus faculty at Idaho State University, where he taught graduate and undergraduate coursework in neuroanatomy and neuropathology over the course of his career in Communication Sciences and Disorders. He is co-author of numerous chapters, books and research publications in the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. His current research is examining the relationship between orofacial myofunctional disorders and oropharyngeal dysphagia. **** David G. Drumright, BS, grew up in Oklahoma and Kansas, taught electronics at DeVry for several years, then spent 20 years as a technician in acoustics and speech research. He developed many programs and devices for analysis and instruction in acoustics and speech/hearing. He has been semi-retired since 2002, working on graphics and programming for courseware. **** Daniel J. Hudock, PhD, CCC-SLP, is an Associate Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders in the College of Rehabilitation and Communication Sciences at Idaho State University. He is currently serving as the Speech Language Pathology Graduate Program Co-Director and Founding PhD in Rehabilitation and Communication Sciences Program Co-Coordinator. He has published over 30 articles and given over 100 presentations with several recent ones being invited half-day and full-day podium talks. In his TEDx Talk entitled, "Please Don't Finish My Sentence", he presents about his experience living with a stutter. Dr. Hudock has successfully completed several grants and is an avid volunteer within the profession and associations focused on fluency disorders, including serving in leadership positions, including the coordinating committee of ASHA's SIG 4 on Fluency Disorders. His two primary tracts of research focus on 1) better understanding, assessing, and treating fluency disorders through holistic interprofessional partnerships with mental health professionals and 2) the neuroscience of speech perception and production in people who stutter using high-density EEG and time-frequency analysis. He is the founding director of the Northwest Center for Fluency Disorders that offers an intensive interprofessional stuttering clinic with speech-language pathologists collaborating with counselors and clinical psychologists through an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informed framework in the treatment of adolescent and adult stuttering. Lastly, he has taught courses on Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech and Hearing Mechanisms and Speech and Hearing Science for over a decade, starting as a graduate teaching assistant at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina.
