- Stephanie Cotton, William Culbertson and Dennis Tanner, professors of health sciences, recently published The Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide for Speech and Hearing, a comprehensive study guide for introductory courses and textbooks in speech and hearing anatomy and physiology.
The workbook includes a comprehensive synopsis of anatomy and physiology, including such content as locator terms, planes of reference and anatomical position, enabling students to learn the vocabulary needed to study anatomy and physiology. It also addresses the basics of cells and tissues to form a foundation for study of larger structures, and organizes speech and hearing anatomy into the functional categories of respiration, phonation, and articulation, as well as the nervous and auditory systems.
