Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing

Key differences between 5th and 4th editions

• Time lapse between current and previous publications: 6 years (2015 vs 2009).
• Seikel/King/Drumright's book was originally published in 1997.
• Many new anatomical images have been added, offering a clear and accurate understanding of the classical structure of the speech, language, and hearing systems.
• Fully revised internet-based ANATESSE software is easier to use and incorporates new labs, simulations, and updates to content.
• Former References sections are now referred to as Bibliography.
• Chapter 3: New section on instruments in respiration covers equipment, such as spirometer and manometer.
• Chapter 5:
• New discussion on acoustics covers amplitude and intensity of sound's power.
• Section "Instruments in Voicing" covers equipment to evaluate intensity (loudness) and frequency (pitch) of sound.
• Chapter 7: New section on instrumentation in articulation.
• Chapter 8:
• Updated views of infant development, the stages of swallowing, and neurophysiological basis of swallowing.
• New section on apneic reflex (cessation of breathing).
