4.00 Credits
This course offers a comparative study of the anatomy and physiology of domestic animals. Cell biology, including a discussion of basic organic molecules, anabolism, catabolism, and cellular reproduction is covered in the early part of the course. Tissues, integument, skeletal and muscular systems are subsequently covered. Laboratories include microscopic examination of cells and tissues, gross examination of mammalian skeletons and dissection of preserved rats. Radiographs are employed to further illustrate anatomical parts. (3 hours lecture, 2.5 hours laboratory) Prerequisite: Successful completion of required developmental courses based on the placement test.
