The document discusses the communication process and its key elements. It defines communication as the exchange of information between two or more people through the transmission of a message from a sender to a receiver. The main elements of communication are the sender, message, channel, receiver, encoding, transmission, decoding, and feedback. It also outlines the stages of the communication process and describes the speech chain by which messages are encoded and transmitted verbally.

12. SPEECH CHAIN

13. The message in the form of impulses
along the motor nerves are sent to the
muscles of the vocal organs, tongue, lips
and vocal cords

14. Nerve impulses set the vocal cords into
movement, which in turn produces a
minute pressure changes in the
surrounding air and called sound waves.
