Sommario/riassunto

This book enables a sound understanding of the three principal functional priorities of the larynx: protection, respiration, and phonation. It explores these three functional categories in terms of phylogeny, functional morphology, and neuromuscular reflexes. The book features numerous illustrations and tables and most chapters are preceded by focused case presentations introducing relevant clinical descriptions.
