Anatomy and Physiology of Speech and HearingAnatomy and Physiology of Speech and Hearing by
Bernard Rousseau and Ryan C. Branski fulfills a growing need for a contemporary resource for
students in speech and hearing science training programs. Extending well beyond traditional
speech science and human anatomy this publication encompasses the latest advances in the
understanding of human physiology basic cell functions biological control systems and
coordinated body functions.Anatomy and Physiology of Speech and Hearing includes award-winning
anatomic artwork from Thieme's Atlas of Anatomy adding a rich visual basis to the clinical
facets of speech language swallowing hearing and balance. The book begins with fundamentals
of human anatomy and physiology such as embryology and development of speech and hearing
mechanisms. The second section details nervous system functions including central and
peripheral motor control. The physiology of respiration phonation articulation and resonance
hearing swallowing and balance are covered in the last six chapters.Key Features- Highlighted
