CSD 502 - Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech Mechanism


★ 4 (fi 8) (first term, 4-0-2) Lectures and demonstrations provide a systematic study of the gross anatomy and neuroanatomy of the respiratory, phonatory, resonatory, and articulatory subsystems and the physiology of respiration, phonation, and upper airway in speech production and swallowing. The embryological and post-natal development of these systems is considered. Review of the neural substrates underlying speech and language processing is included. Laboratories provide observational and simulated dissection experiences using computer software video, anatomical models, and prosected materials. (Restricted to MScSLP students only.) Not open to students with credit in SPA 502.
