Clinically Oriented Anatomy 8th Edition
Renowned for comprehensive coverage, the best-selling Clinically Oriented Anatomy guides students from initial anatomy and foundational science courses through clinical training and practice. The eighth edition reflects significant New information and updates and maintains the highest standards for scientific and clinical accuracy. Comprehensive updates reflect changes in the clinical application of anatomy as well as New imaging technologies, focusing on the anatomy that students need to know.
- Extensively revised “Clinical Blue Boxes” explore the practical applications of anatomy, and helpful icons distinguish the type of clinical information covered in each.
- Clinically relevant anatomy focuses on physical diagnosis, interpretation of diagnostic imaging, and understanding the anatomical basis of emergency medicine and general surgery.
- Insightfully rendered, anatomically accurate illustrations, with updates throughout, make this book an aesthetically rewarding learning resource. Combined with many photographs and medical images, these stunning visuals facilitate comprehension of anatomical concepts and retention of “mental images” of anatomical structures.
- New and updated medical imaging and integrated surface anatomy within each chapter demonstrates the relationship between anatomy, physical examination, and diagnosis.
- Expanded “Overview and Basic Concepts” chapter includes functional systemic anatomy summaries and introduces approaches to studying anatomy, terminology, imaging, and more.
- Inclusion of New sections describing the enteric nervous system (considered by some as a “second brain”) and its unique role in the innervation of the digestive system gives students cutting-edge insight into this significant scientific discovery.
- A more realistic approach to the musculoskeletal system explores the action and use of muscles and muscle groups in daily activities, emphasizing gait and grip.
- “Bottom Line” boxes summarize information to facilitate ongoing review and underscore the big-picture viewpoint.
- Clinical Blue Box animations, case studies, and interactive multiple-choice questions facilitate review and self-testing.

About the authors
Prof. Keith L Moore, BA, MSC, PhD, DSc (Hon), FIAC, FRSM, FAAA
I have been asked the same questions from students around the world. My answers to the most asked questions are:
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A CLINICAL ANATOMIST? When I was studying for a Bachelor of Arts (General Course), I dissected cats, fish, mice, turtles and rats. I was fascinated by the differences in their functional anatomy. After I graduated, I decided to study human anatomy. I went to a seminar given by Mike Bertram on “The Sex Chromatin in Cats”. Mike, a graduate student, was studying with Dr. Barr, the Head of the Anatomy Department. After the seminar, I approached Mike and Dr. Barr and asked them if I could join their research group. Dr. Barr said he would be glad to have me work with him and study for a Master of Science. That’s what got me started in the amazing field of anatomy.
WHAT KIND OF RESEARCH DID YOU DO? After receiving my doctorate, I continued my study of the morphology of cell nuclei, with special reference to the sex chromatin. I received a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the National Cancer Institute of Canada to study the sex chromatin in cells of human benign and malignant tumors. Thereafter, my research was concerned with the causes and prevention of congenital anomalies (birth defects). My work led to innovative methods for the detection of numerical chromosomal anomalies. I was the first one to recognize that males with the Klinefelter Syndrome had an extra X chromosome (that is XXY instead of the normal XY). In 1965, I developed a buccal smear chromatin test that is used for the detection of numerical chromosomal abnormalities This test is also used for the determination of the gender of neonates who have ambiguous external genitalia.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO TEACH EMBRYOLOGY AND GROSS ANATOMY? I started to learn human anatomy in 1950. At that time, 600 hours were devoted to gross anatomy and Gray’s Anatomy (30th ed.) was the recommended book. I was overwhelmed but I tried to learn by asking the professors for help; for example ”What is the clinical relevance of the visceral pleura of the lungs”? They would say “You will learn this later in the course”. When I told Dr. Barr about this, he said: “I will arrange for you to dissect with a resident in surgery who is studying the anatomical details that he needs when he becomes a surgeon”. I was very pleased because as we dissected, he explained why a thorough knowledge of anatomy was essential. Several months later, he invited me to observe some of his surgical procedures. This is when I decided I wanted to teach embryology and gross anatomy.
HOW MANY BOOKS HAVE YOU WRITTEN? I have published 13 books. My first book “The Sex Chromatin” was published in 1966. My embryology books were published in the 70s: The Developing Human (TDH) and Before We are Born (BWAB). TDH is now in the 9th edition and BWAB is in the 8th edition. TDH was written for medical, dental, and physiotherapy students and BWAB was written for allied health science students. Some students who use TDH also read BWAB so they can have a review of the essentials of embryology before an examination. My gross anatomy books were published in the 80s; the 7th edition of Clinically Oriented Anatomy (COA) will be published in the spring of 2013, and the 5th edition of Essential Clinical Anatomy (ECA) will be published in the spring of 2014. These books are now best sellers but COA is the most popular of all my books.
YOUR BOOKS ARE EASY TO READ; HOW DID YOU LEARN TO WRITE SO WELL?
It was not easy!! First, I had to learn more than what I learned in the anatomy course. I had to learn the practical applications of anatomical knowledge to clinical problem-solving (e.g., in devising a surgical solution). I went to clinical rounds (seminars) at the hospital and learned about practical applications related to human structure. I also observed many postmortems and learned about gross and microscopic anatomy of organs and tissues. When I first started, I had to write and rewrite each page several times. With the help of my wife, Marion, who was studying for a Bachelor of Arts, I learned how to write clearly. She would read what I wrote and make suggestions that would make the book student friendly. One day she came home and showed me her psychology book that had yellow boxes containing clinical comments. She suggested that I do this with my book. I did this and now students world wide call them blue boxes because of the blue background of the boxes. Illustrations of injuries (e.g., to nerves and bones) are shown in several boxes.
WHAT HOBBIES AND INTERESTS DO YOU HAVE? I like to play golf 2-3 times a week. I used to curl, a sport in which players slide round stones (about 40 pounds) across a sheet of ice towards a target. I do not curl now because I go to Florida in the winter to enjoy the sun and golf. I like to watch all kinds of sports and movies on TV (e.g., foot ball, basket ball, golf and boxing). I also do things I have always wanted to do (e.g., zip lining and parasailing). I also like to travel around the world. After anatomy meetings, I had the opportunity to visit the Galapagos Islands and the Great Wall of China. I also enjoy meeting students from around the world (see the picture).

1. Students do yourself a favor and purchase a paperback copy of this book. I know from my experience with the previous "E" edition I used - that the E books are usually terrible (missing table of contents, missing page numbers and unreadable images (too small); it is difficult to navigate readings and assignments). Graduate school is hard enough without having the visuals to help you succeed.
2. Blue boxes! Clinical scenarios help you prepare for rotations and application style questions.
This book connects the structural part of the anatomy with the hands on parts of healthcare.
3. This book has some of the most professionally done charts and images I have ever seen. Just one example, the muscle charts show innervation, attachments and muscle action.
The textbook has pretty good diagrams (most will couple the book with Netter’s Atlas) to understand anatomy. There are some typos/incorrect facts in it, but they are very rare to come across.
I wish the language was more dummed-down and more simple so that concepts weren’t so confusing and had to be read 5 times to understand what’s being said. Other than that, I haven’t written one, but a textbook is tough to write and you gotta know your stuff and the writers are really reliable!
My recommendation is for the writers to consider the verbiage and simplify and clarify wording so it’s obvious that they understand it so well that “anyone” could understand it’s concepts.
