Turn to page 1057, under the "bottom line".

"The SCM and trapezius muscles share their origins from a common embryologic source, innervation by the facial nerve (CN VII) ..."

WTF MATE? Isn't it supposed to be CN XI, the spinal accessory nerve?!?!?! I think Moore is one of the best textbooks I've ever used in my life, but is this a mistake? Just wanted to make sure before I went crazy on the publisher.

The fact that Moore has errors is nothing new..

Elaborate.

Keep reading, you'll find more. I remember last year reading about the placement of various nerves in relation to one another in the abdominal cavity. His referenced figure showed the opposite of what he had written. Moore makes mistakes.

I just found an error a couple hours ago when i was reading it... something that should've referenced the LOWER limb, not UPPER limb. It was very obviously wrong, though not incredibly important in context. oh well.
