The study of the anatomy and physiology of the systems involved in speech and hearing is foundational to the professions of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.
However, learning this material can be a daunting task.
This Workbook is designed to make the information accessible to students by not overloading them with excessive detail but instead guiding them to a more thorough understanding of basic anatomical concepts.
The Workbook is organized according to the most commonly used subsystem approach to speech production:
- PLANES AND TERMINOLOGY
- CELLS AND TISSUES
- RESPIRATION
- PHONATION
- ARTICULATION
- AUDITION
- NERVOUS SYSTEM
Visual activities such as drawing and coloring illustrations of structures are effective ways to improve both understanding and retention of anatomical structures, concepts, and relationships.
These types of activities will encourage students to look closely at the structures and pay attention to the accompanying narrative.
In addition to visual exercises, extensive “test yourself” questions – multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false, matching, and crossword puzzles, challenge students to engage meaningfully with the material.
Complete answers to the written exercises are included at the end of
the workbook.
The Speech and Hearing Anatomy Workbook can be used either as a
supplement to a traditional textbook in an advanced anatomy class, or as a stand-alone text for a basic course in speech and hearing anatomy.
