Applied Anatomy And Physiology For Speech-Language Pathology And Audiology eBook

Designed to help readers make connections between foundational concepts and clinical application, Applied Anatomy and Physiology for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, 2nd Edition, integrates pathology content into the study of each system underlying speech and hearing. This unique approach ensures that students see the "big picture" while learning the basic science of anatomy and physiology alongside the art and science of communication disorders. The second edition features enhancements from cover to cover, including updated pathology chapters, references to new research, a chapter devoted to swallowing and dysphagia, updated tables and figures (including color), and changes in incidence and prevalence of different pathologies. Case studies are presented in each of the pathology chapters to facilitate students’ understanding of how disorders of anatomy and physiology may affect speech, language, and hearing. This textbook can be used as the primary or secondary resource for undergraduate courses in anatomy and physiology, neuroanatomy, introduction to audiology, and organic and functional disorders of communication.
