Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
Teaching anatomy of animals is made system by system (locomotive, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, circulatory, etc.). For every notion, an in-depth study of three reference animals (dog, horse and bovine) is realized, followed by a compared study of the cat, the small ruminants, the pig, the rabbit and the birds.
This second course concerns the digestive, respiratory, urinary and genital systems. A last chapter is dedicated to the common integument (skin and associated structures), the sense organs (eye, ear, olfactory organ, gustatory organ and cutaneous sense) as well as to the endocrine glands.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | The aim of the 4 courses of anatomy of domestic animals is to teach this matter to future veterinarians. Learning anatomy allows the student to fill the requirements of the medical act. In particular to localize exactly any organ of an animal, to be able to correlate any reaction of a precise anatomical area to a precise organ, to choose the places of auscultation, palpation, percussion, to choose also precise places of diagnostic or therapeutic intervention and to do any medical act. The aim of the course is also to make understand the normal functioning of organs and, by comparison, the abnormal functioning of these organs. In other words, to explain the physiology and the pathology according to the forms and the anatomical structures. The accent is thus put on the functional and clinical aspects of this matter |
