VETS 140 - Animal Anatomy and Physiology

Institution:

SUNY College of Technology at Delhi

Subject:

Description:

This course provides students in the Veterinary Science Technology program with a basic knowledge of the structural and functional characteristics of the animal body. Instruction is provided through a lecture-and-laboratory systemic study of the gross and microscopic anatomy and physiology of domestic animals. Lectures and laboratory exercises emphasize an understanding of and an appreciation for the organized body state and the relationship of its various parts including cells, tissues, organs, and body systems. Microscopic examination of histological slides and computer software are employed for the study of basic tissues and organs. Examination of skeletons, models, prosected canine and feline cadavers, and other preserved specimens is used to study gross anatomical structures. Comparative aspects of other species, including an introduction to avian and reptilian anatomy and physiology, is included. Lecture and laboratory discussions begin the development of and require an understanding and use of anatomical and medical terminology. Lectures and laboratories include discussion and utilization of relevant clinical topics and materials. This course provides the basis and foundation upon which all of the subsequent technical courses are built.
