Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing, Seventh Edition

by J. Anthony Seikel, David G. Drumright, Daniel J. Hudock

With many exciting enhancements and robust online resources, the seventh edition of Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing provides a solid foundation in anatomical and physiological principles relevant to the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. The text is supported by an innovative study software program called ANAQUEST that includes interactive lessons, animations, and videos to further help students master the complex material. This bestselling text is organized around the five “classic” systems of speech, language and the respiratory, phonatory, articulatory/resonatory, nervous, and auditory systems. Integrating clinical information with everyday experiences to reveal how anatomy and physiology relate to the speech, language, and hearing systems, the text introduces all the essential anatomy and physiology information in a carefully structured way, helping students to steadily build their knowledge and successfully apply it to clinical practice. Hundreds of dynamic, full-color illustrations and online lessons make the complex material approachable even for students with little or no background in anatomy and physiology.

Is it weird to put a textbook on goodreads? Maybe
Do I desperately need it to count towards my reading challenge because I’ve spent SO many hours reading it that I typically would’ve spent on other books? Yes

It's a textbook for sure - but it was a GREAT one for SLP Anatomy. Very easy to access - for a textbook it's a good one.

Good textbook for learning SLP anatomy and physiology. The chapters are well laid out and easy to comprehend.

Had to read this for my Postgrad in SALT. Excellent explanations and accessible descriptions of brain & ENT for first time anatomy students.

I am not quite done yet, but I am completely exasperated at this point. I'm studying the neuroanatomy chapter now, and the diagrams in this book are completely subpar. So many features are described with no visual to help you understand where that feature might be. Am I supposed to guess? Thank yod for the Web so I can actually look up superior diagrams and descriptions of said features.

Another gripe: This book has a 19-page index. 19 pages to list every term for the anatomy of speech and hearing. Yes, it's impossible, so probably 70% of the terms are not in the index. And the index contains no "see" or "see also" references, which is ludicrous considering each anatomical feature seems to have at least 2 different names. So if I want to look up Heschl's gyrus, I'm out of luck, because it's not there. Despite being bolded in the text, which apparently means nothing. Having edited countless indexes, I realize how expensive they are. But for an anatomy & physiology book it is unacceptable to include such a paltry index. Once again, thank yod for the Web, or I would be completely lost.
