FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF VETERINARY ANATOMY

COMPBIO 500
Course Description

A detailed consideration of gross anatomical structure with emphasis on major anatomical patterns present in species important to veterinary medicine. The dog is used as a model domestic mammal and comparisons with other species are considered. All body systems are dissected. Clinical implications of these dissections are emphasized.
