Description
Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy uses over 500 incredibly well-executed and superb dissection photos and illustrations to guide you through all the key structures you’ll need to learn in your gross anatomy course. This medical textbook helps you master essential surface, gross, and radiologic anatomy concepts through high-quality photos, digital enhancements, and concise text introductions throughout.
Key Features
- Get a clear understanding of surface, gross, and radiologic anatomy with a resource that’s great for use before, during, and after lab work, in preparation for examinations, and later on as a primer for clinical work.
- Learn as intuitively as possible with large, full-page photos for effortless comprehension. No more confusion and peering at small, closely cropped pictures!
- Easily distinguish highlighted structures from the background in each dissection with the aid of digitally color-enhanced images.
- See structures the way they present in the anatomy lab with specially commissioned dissections, all done using freshly dissected cadavers prepared using low-alcohol fixative.
- Bridge the gap between gross anatomy and clinical practice with clinical correlations throughout.
New Features
- Master anatomy efficiently with one text covering all you need to know, from surface to radiologic anatomy, that’s ideal for shortened anatomy courses.
- Review key structures quickly thanks to detailed dissection headings and unique icon navigation.
- Access the full text and self assessment questions at studentconsult.com.

Book Reviews
"This revised edition is appropriate for all students in the health sciences and distinguishes itself from other atlases with its excellent dissection photographs, overviews, and clinical correlations. Each chapter includes osteological and radiographic images associated with the area, which results in repetition of figures throughout the book. It would be better to combine the osteological and radiographic images at the end of the four major regional sections rather than repeating plates in multiple chapters. The chapter on the perineum (chapter 38), omitted a few structures. This is not equivalent to a comprehensive textbook, but it provides more information and clinical comments than other basic atlases. It offers photographs of actual structures rather than illustrations, which may appeal to some students." Erin Leslie, PhD(Midwestern University) Doody Review:80/100

Beautiful prosection images of the human body. A great complimentary resource for teaching through cadaveric dissection or prosection. Annotations of images are easy to read and identify the key structures. The pairing of radiographic images with schematics and cadaveric images is very beneficial for progressive learning and application of knowledge to investigatory imaging. I use the images regularly in lectures and small group teaching and the students always feedback that these images really help them understand the "real" anatomy and make the translation from textbook diagrams to seeing the cadaver in the teaching space.
Exquisite book with cadaveric images to compare.
Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy by Moses et al. 2013 is a beautiful, well organized and well written atlas of human anatomy. It is highly recommended to all students, clinicians and scientists who have a need for such reference material. Each chapter begins with a brief background to the basic anatomy behind the topic before getting into its topographic aspects. This atlas has clear and high quality photographs. It takes the reader on a journey through the human body. This journey is amazing. Although not all subjects were young and healthy adults, all these illustrations are marvellous. First, when the surface anatomy is presented, these illustrations depict also important anatomical structures that are located under the skin, e.g. bones, muscles, tendons (see Fig. 21.5) glands, cartilages (see Fig. 5.4.) and veins (see Fig. 47.5 and 47.7). This is remarkable that we can see through the skin as the skin is translucent. This is an excellent work. Moreover, when the dissections are presented, we can see all these large and small anatomical structures (i.e. arteries, veins, nerves etc.) marked with different colors for better orientation (see Fig. 40.7 on page 503). Furthermore, when the information is presented in tables, it is clear and concise. To sum up, this work deserves a wide audience because of its amazing illustrations. The photographs are superb and they offer outstanding detail. In addition, this atlas provides access to online resources from the publisher's website, which are very useful for students and teachers alike.
