Course Description:
Foundation of anatomy and physiology for all aspects of communication, including
respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation, hearing, and neurological aspects of
communication.
Course Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, a student will be able to:
• Describe the anatomical and physiological basis of communication,
• Accurately identify components of respiration, phonation, resonation, articulation,
and audition and their interactions.
Required Text:
Anatomy and Physiology for Speech, Language and Hearing
2nd Edition
Seikel, King and Drumright
Course Requirements:
• Four (4) exams will be given during the semester. Each exam will be worth 100
points. The instructor will only provide make up exams with advanced approval
(i.e. prior to the exam). It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor
to reschedule the exam. All exams and make up exams will be given during class
time.
• Reading Assigned Chapters
• Attendance in Class
• Copies of lecture notes be made available. It is the student’s responsibility to
access these notes prior to class. Lectures will include the notes. Lectures will
not allow for time to take down the information presented on each slide. Lecture
notes will be made available to students:
o Electronic reserve at the McDermott Library in advance of each new topic
(i.e. respiration, phonation). Notes through McDermott Library will be in
powerpoint format
o WebCT. Notes through WebCT will be in a “rtf” (word) format
• Exam Preparation Optional: Students will have the option to participate in
exam preparation activities. An example of such an activity is “build you own
larynx”. The activities will assist the student with preparing for the different
exams. The total points available for these activities will be 50. The following
guidelines will be used if the student does or does not choose to participate in the
activities:
o Students will complete a form indicating if they do or do not wish to
participate in these activities.
