Specifications
The book Anatomy & Physiology of Speech, Language, and Hearing provides a sequential description of the anatomy and physiology related to speech, language, and hearing. It offers supplementary material that significantly enhances the learning process. In this edition, the presentation of the anatomy and physiology of the respective topics under discussion has been refined, while the developments that have occurred in various fields of research are also recognized. The text is organized around the four "classic" systems of speech: the respiratory, phonatory, articulatory/resonatory, and nervous systems. The respiratory system provides the "energy source" for speech, while the phonatory system provides the voice. The articulatory/resonatory system modifies the acoustic source provided by the voice, so that the sounds we recognize as speech are produced. The articulatory system is responsible for chewing and swallowing, an increasingly important area in the field of speech therapy. The nervous system allows us to control the muscles, receive information, and interpret it. Finally, the auditory mechanism processes auditory signals that may or may not relate to speech, which the listener receives while trying to understand the world around them.
This new edition of Anatomy & Physiology of Speech, Language, and Hearing includes several exciting improvements:
- Completely revised physiology of swallowing, now incorporating updated views on infant development, stages of swallowing, and the neurophysiological bases of the process.
- Expanded discussion on the assessment tools for all communication systems, revealing the wealth of research data in each field.
- The new research data covering the latest trends and technology are highlighted through revised sections.
