VETERINARY DEVELOPMENTAL ANATOMY

ZOOLOGY 555

Developmental anatomy and laboratory manipulations of representative animal embryos used extensively for analysis of developmental phenomena (sea urchins, amphibia, annelids, molluscs, ascidians, insects, chicks, fish, mice).

ZOOLOGY 470

Introduction to the major features and mechanisms of early embryonic development in animals, including (1) the major stages of early development, (2) how form arises in the embryo (morphogenesis), (3) how differences arise between cells in the embryo, and (4) how specific genes control these processes.

COMPBIO 505

A comparative approach to the morphological and physiological properties of the central nervous system of animals, particularly those of veterinary importance.

COMPBIO 500

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.

MEDSC-V 732

Develop a comprehensive understanding of the foundational concepts underpinning the normal, healthy animal. Through a structured approach comprising various modules, including eating and eliminating, and cognition, senses and response, delve into essential anatomical and functional elements vital for animal health. Emphasizing the intricate interplay of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems, gain crucial insights into the mechanisms orchestrating communication and control to uphold homeostasis. Integrating disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology, and radiology, combine foundational knowledge with an emphasis on practical clinical applications and the development of critical thinking essential for navigating the complexities of veterinary practice.
