Clinically Oriented Anatomy 8th Edition

I used this in graduate school myself and purchased this latest edition for my niece starting medical school this summer. I was not disappointed. I imagine Netter is useful for the lab section (dissection) but this is hands down the best supplemental A&P book. The book is organized by region (as compared to system) so it is a good supplement for those taking gross lab at the same time.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.

I borrowed a copy of this book from a colleague, and ended up buying a copy for myself. The text contains a wealth of detail not available in other books on the subject and is an excellent reference for detailed descriptions on the different parts of the human body.

Book came in great condition so far as I know.

I decided to purchase this book to gain some new knowledge about the human body. As one might imagine, it did not disappoint. Not only did I learn that the funny bone is actually the ulnar nerve, but I also learned that I probably have scoliosis. Oh well... at least I learned that I had from this $30 textbook and not $100 doctor's visit. #ballingonabudget

Exactly what I needed to assist me with the mastery of anatomy and physiology

Very well-organized and clear! Helps lay down foundation to understand the commonalities of the body’s anatomy and even clearly notes some not-so-common differences in others that are important to be aware of because they might be made differently, therefore treatment might be slightly altered to effectively treat them.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.

This book is awesome. Has a lot of practical connections to traumatic injury mechanisms and education on what cohorts of people would be more affected by what injuries. Lots of pictures. I’d definitely recommend this book to anyone studying traumatic type of injuries.

Purchased for Anatomy class at DSU, never ended up using/needing it, only used the essentials of human anatomy recommend by professor and got an A in the class. I guess this would be helpful if you needed to understand the material better.
