Clinical Anatomy & Physiology of the Swallow Mechanism is a new title in the Dysphagia Series. With over 150 figures, tables and illustrations, this book helps extend the basic anatomy and physiology knowledge of the speech-language pathologist, applying it to normal deglutition and dysphagia in the adult population. Medical terminology is used throughout to facilitate thorough and precise communication across multi-disciplinary teams. In the rapidly progressing field of dysphagia diagnosis and management, this book incorporates clinically relevant primary research into its discussions while anticipating continued advancement in the understanding of this complex topic. This book revisits articulatory anatomy in the framework of deglutition and approaches physiology from this very specialized perspective.
