Description

Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing, Sixth Edition provides a firm foundation in anatomical and physiological principles pertinent to communication sciences and disorders. This best-selling textbook, valued by professors and students alike, combines clinical material with everyday experiences to show how anatomy and physiology relate to the speech, language, and hearing systems. The work makes complex material comprehensible, especially for students with little or no expertise in anatomy and physiology, by combining comprehensive content with rich, stunning full-color pictures and a strong practical focus. Unlike previous texts, this one includes not just anatomical diagrams but also photographs of genuine specimens. This new edition of is supported by novel technologies that have been thoroughly updated to reflect current trends, methodologies, and best practices. ANAQUEST study software provides students with additional interactive learning through courses, interactive quizzes, and other resources to help students of various learning types master the topic and prepare for professional licensing tests. The text offers numerous full-color anatomical illustrations to assist students build a clear, correct grasp of the classical framework of the speech, language, and hearing systems. Photographs provide a realistic view of the body components and functions you are studying. Use these photos as a guide for accurately describing body systems, parts, and processes. Allow yourself to be amazed by the complexities of human anatomy! ANAQUEST provides on-the-go learning with animated courses, simulations, interactive quizzes, and content upgrades. New in the Sixth Edition Updated and enlarged material on the physiology of swallowing, including a discussion of orofacial-myofunctional abnormalities and other swallowing problems caused by physical causes. More physiology content, including an introduction to the effects of pathology on communication within each of the physical communication systems. Many new specimen images have been included, with a focus on a clear and precise knowledge of the classical framework of the speech, language, and hearing systems. Clinical Notes boxes connect anatomy and physiology to diseases seen by speech-language pathologists and audiologists to offer students with real-world clinical applications. The ANAQUEST study software (formerly known as Anatesse) is now available on a PluralPlus partner website. The software now contains ten video lab experiences narrated by Katrina Rhett, an anatomist and lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences at Idaho State University. The writers have also included three-dimensional views with animations that explain the critical processes of hearing, phonation, respiration, swallowing, and more.
