| Course Description | The course will introduce anatomical and physiological terminology and principles using a body systems approach in a comparative context, with an emphasis on domestic species. Body systems covered are the musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, digestive systems as well as the integument and basic concepts in physiology and anatomy. In anatomy practical classes students will develop skills in dissection and learn to appreciate variation in structure due to species, age, and sex. Students will also study the embryology and histology of body systems and use microscopy and digital resources in some practicals. In physiology practical classes students will study physiological mechanisms and principles using a blending of live animal, isolated animal tissue, human measurements and computer simulations. |
