Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology of Speech, Language, and Hearing
About this ebook
Authors Glen M. Tellis and M. Hunter Manasco use their experiences in the classroom to inform their approach to student learning. Each topic is concisely introduced in bullet-point form and then augmented with more detailed text, boxed content, illustrations, and tables. In addition to this easily manageable method of presenting information, the book also provides extensive supplementary material on a companion website. This technology-supported pedagogical approach allows students to review concepts via detailed study guides with anatomical labels, explore cadaver images, and view them as an extension of the textbook. This is the only text with real cadaver images from Anatomage’s 3D dissection table allowing an unparalleled glimpse into the anatomical structures of the human body, featuring true-to-life colors with an impressive level of detail.
Drs. Tellis and Manasco’s active learning approach will encourage and challenge students to think deeply and critically about the anatomy and physiology related to speech, language, and hearing. This immersive and technology-centered process is intended to increase student comprehension, retention, performance, and enjoyment of the material.
