Learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, Laboratory and desk-based work
Learning outcomes
The 1st semester pays attention to the topographic anatomy of the forelimb and the hindlimb. The study begins with the osteology, arthrology, myology, angiology, neurology and topographic anatomy of the forelimb. The same is applied on the hindlimb. The semester goes on with the osteology, arthrology and myology of the trunk, head and neck. In the end of the semester it continues with the anatomy of the cardiovascular system, the heart. In practical lessons the students learn how to correctly use the anatomical terminology, to name and describe the particular anatomical structures on specimens and on X-ray images.
1. Student is able/know/understands special anatomical terminology. 2. Student is able to describe the anatomical structures, to understand the differences between species and to be well informed in topographic anatomy. 3. Student is able to describe the simple X-ray image and to term particular anatomical structures on them.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam, Practical exam, Practical credit test

How to get credit: - The oral test from topographic anatomy of the forelimb and hindlimb must be succesfully passed - No absence at practical trainings - Good results from the oral testing during the semester
