Learning objectives
<br />
The course gives basic knowledge about the embryo-foetal development and about the morphology and structural organization of cells, tissues and organs in the Equine species. The aim is to give a good grounding and specific technical-pratical knowledge useful to make comparisons and controls, to help the resolution of diagnostic problems and to study with profit matters of physiology, patholgy, reproduction, welfare and breeding conditions of animals, zootechny and inspection. <br />
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of biology <br />
Course unit content
Basic concepts of Anatomy, terminology and main body parts. First steps of embryo development, basic notions of organogenesis and foetal membranes. Citology and Histology: Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Muscular tissue, Nervous tissue. Locomotor apparatus. Basic notions on the Nervous System. Gross and Microscopic anatomy of endocrine glands, digestive apparatus, urogenital apparatus (male and female), cardiovascular system, respiratory apparatus, common integument. Practical activity of histology and microscopic anatomy. Cadaveric dissections. <br />

Teaching methods
The 56 hours of didactic activity, correspondent to a total of 7 CFU (3 CFU in the first semester and 4 CFU in the second), are shared in 28 hours of frontal lessons and 28 hours of practical activity, these last with compulsory attendance. <br />
The frontal lessons deal with matters of citology, embryology and histology, in the first semester (12 hours), and of anatomy, in the second semester (16 hours). <br />
The practical activity, in the first semester (12 hours), deals matters of osteo-arthro-miology; moreover, optical microscopic observations of tissues are performed. Cadaveric dissections are done in the second semester (16 hours). <br />
