VETERINARY NEUROANATOMY AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGY

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.

COMPBIO 551

Covers comparative veterinary physiology covering electrophysiology, and muscle, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and acid-base physiology.

COMPBIO 503

Principles of development and organogeneses in domestic animals. Normal developmental patterns are related to adult anatomy. Clinical implications of common congenital defects are discussed.

NEURODPT/NTP/PSYCH 611

Introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the mammalian nervous system. Lectures will cover the neuroanatomy of the major subdivisions of the human brain, the major sensory and motor systems, and higher order functions. Lab/discussion sections will emphasize readings from the primary literature and hands-on dissections.

COMPBIO 501

Light and digital microscopy are used to study the anatomy of organs and tissues at the cellular level. Microanatomic features of all major organ systems are identified, and pertinent physiologic concepts are discussed to correlate structure with function. Mammalian systems are emphasized, and comparisons to non-mammalian species are considered. Direct applications to clinical medicine are included.
