Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy 9th edition (ninth edition)

About this book

Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy 9th edition by Arthur F. Dalley and Anne M. R. Agur presents regional human anatomy with a strong emphasis on its application to physical diagnosis, diagnostic imaging, emergency medicine, and surgery. The book connects detailed anatomical relationships with clinical findings so students can understand why the location of muscles, nerves, vessels, bones, and organs matters during examination and patient care.

The 9th edition covers basic anatomical concepts, the back, upper limb, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, head, neck, and cranial nerves. Detailed illustrations and tables clarify muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, fascial relationships, and organ anatomy, while clinical correlations connect structural anatomy with injuries, physical examination findings, imaging, surgical approaches, and common clinical conditions.

This textbook is used across medical and health professions programs that require detailed regional and clinically applied anatomy. It is especially relevant for medical students, physician assistant students, physical therapy students, occupational therapy students, graduate anatomy and biology students, and exercise science students who need to identify structures and understand their functional and clinical relationships.

MD students, PA students, PT students, OT students, anatomy trainees, and other health professions learners can use this edition for gross anatomy coursework, dissection preparation, practical examinations, imaging review, and clinical anatomy study. The 2023 9th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for efficient review of regional anatomy and clinical correlations.
