YOUR LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR LCSC06
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the anatomical
structures relevant to speech
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the physical and
physiological processes which underpin the function
and control of the body systems most closely
associated with speech and language therapy.
3. Apply a knowledge and understanding of the
underlying biophysical sciences to selected examples
of speech, language and hearing disorders.

EXTRA RESOURCES...
Anatomy/physiology
colouring books
CD-roms (some of the
texts include one, there
are a number you can
borrow from the library)
Websites (look for
…ac.uk/..edu.*);
WIKIPEDIA can be
useful, but is not
100% reliable!
YouTube is an
especially good
source of tutorials
The Biodigital Human

SAMPLE EXAM QUESTIONS FROM
TODAY’s SESSION
1) What is meant by an anatomical ‘system’?
2) Name four systems that are especially
relevant for the study of biosciences for the
profession of speech and language therapy
3) Give 5 reasons why the study of bioscience is
of importance to SLT

INTRODUCTION TO BIOSCIENCES
FOR SLT
LCSC06 | Biosciences for SLT
WHAT ARE BIOSCIENCES AND WHY
DO WE NEED TO STUDY THEM?
LCSC06 | Biosciences for SLT
ANATOMY
The study of the
structure of an
Organism
Familiarise with
the different
specialisms and
areas in
anatomy
LCSC06 | Biosciences for SLT
PHYSIOLOGY
The study of the
FUNCTION of a
living organism
and its parts
Understand
the chemical
processes
occurring in
the body

SMALL GROUP ACTIVITY
Think of someone
you have met on
your visits on in
your personal life,
who has had a
condition that has
affected their
communication
Consider ICF framework for
this person – how has this
condition affected him/her
across domains of ICF?
How might a knowledge of
medical aspects inform our
understanding of person and
their communication
disorder?
LCSC06 | Biosciences for SLT
FROM POINT OF VIEW OF
COMMUNICATION
We study BIOSCIENCES in
order to:
Understand conditions
that our clients present
with, from a biological
and therefore MEDICAL
point of view
Aids our DIAGNOSIS,
informs PROGNOSIS
Understand the underpinning
PATHOLOGY and how this
impacts on
COMMUNICATION
Help us to understand how
MEDICATION works and
impacts on the client’s
condition
LCSC06 | Biosciences for SLT
OTHER REASONS FOR STUDYING
THE BIOSCIENCES
Easy ACCESS TO INFORMATION
means that clients can be very
knowledgeable about their own
conditions
SLTs can work within a
MEDICAL FRAMEWORK
(as opposed to an
educational framework)
SLTs work in MULTI-PROFESSIONAL TEAMS and hence with a
large number of other health professionals: a shared
understanding of the biosciences and medical aspects
enhances the qualify of the team work

EXPECTATIONS AND STUDYING AT
UNIVERSITY
You READ to get a degree
The lectures set the scene and
the scope, provide
framework for this further
reading
Use the lectures as an
opportunity to ask questions
If you think
of a question
after the
lecture, use
the
discussion
board on LS
LCSC06 | Biosciences for SLT
READING...
Is set out in the Reading
and Resources section
on Learning Space
It is worthwhile
buying at least
ONE textbook for
each of your
modules.
Many resources are
available on-line
and there are
Apps available to
help with your
studies
Don’t keep any useful
resources to yourselves!
