VET240: Veterinary Anatomy 1

This unit explores the anatomy of domestic mammals, emphasising the musculoskeletal, nervous, peripheral vascular, and integumentary systems of companion animals. Differences in form and function due to influences of lifestyle and locomotor pattern are explored using a comparative species approach. Practical sessions involve dissections and studies of specimens held in the veterinary anatomy museum collection. Imaging techniques, auscultation and palpation of relevant body regions of the dog and horse highlight morphologically-based clinical aspects of the practical sessions.
