Detailed gross and systemic anatomy of the domestic species (horse, dog, ruminant). Emphasis is placed on the adaptations of structures and systems for their normal environment and diet. Topics covered include the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, reproductive and muscular systems with emphasis on such functions as locomotion and visceral function. The practical classes in the laboratory will include study of prosected specimens and active dissection on cadaveric animals, as well as surface anatomy on live animals.
At the end of this unit, students will know:
Lectures: 2-3 x 1-hour per week
Lab practicals: 1 x 3-hours per week
The resit exam will comprise a written paper similar to the summer, and a spot similar to that held in April/May but this time with 50 2-part questions, and will cover the whole year's work, but the earlier in-course work mark will not be included so the resit exam will constitute the whole exam. Hence the resit written will count 45% and the resit spot will count 55%. If passed, the resit mark will form the end of unit mark and this will be capped at 40%.
