Learning objectives
Students are expected to know about the macro and microscopic organisation of
the various apparatuses of the species of veterinary medical interest, also from a
comparative point of view. The student must acquire the competence to recognize and to describe both macroscopical and microscopical anatomical preparation. The student must also acquire autonomy of wise about him knowledges, capacity to learn the arguments and to transmit them adeguately.
Prerequisites
Previous courses in Histology, Embryology are compulsory.
Course unit content
Teaching Veterinary Normal Anatomy 5 cfu. During the course will be treated some arguments of Splanchnology: Respiratory apparatus, Urogenital apparatus, Endocrine glands.
Sense organs.
Common integument.

Teaching methods
The course is divided in theoretical and practical training. During the theoretical activities the different arguments will be explained to provide the methodology that the students will have to use to describe an organ from a macroscopical point of view. During the practical activities, that will be carried out with the students divided in groups, will be supplied the notions and knowledges that the students will use to identify a microscopical anatomic normal preparation, by means optical microscope.
Assessment methods and criteria
The exam is at the end of the course. It is carried out by mens a practical test and oral examination. With the practical test, the student must recognize and describe an anatomic microscopical preparation, under optical microscope observation. With the oral examination the student must morphologically describe an organs, place it in the belongings apparatus. It is necessary that the student connects to each organ its innervation and the vascularization.
Other information
The theoretical and practical activities will be carried out by means power point presentation, anatomic macroscopical and microscopical preparations.
