Credits/ECTS :
2nd year of a Bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine15
Holder(s) :Bernard Collin
Course contents : The course begins with the study of general osteology, followed by special osteology of the horse. Then, students study general arthrology, myology, splanchnology, endocrine glands and esthesiology, followed by special arthrology, myology, splanchnology, esthesiology and endocrine glands of the horse.

After that, all these matters are studied in ruminants (ox, sheep and goat).

At the end of the second quadrimester, general neurology and special neurology of the horse are studied, as well as general and special angiology.
Course objective : Anatomy is the science which study the organisation of living beings. It is the fondation of the teaching of medicine and consists of a necessary introduction to the knowledge of the sound organism and its functions. Veterinary anatomy is general and comparative: it concerns all animal domestic species and describes resemblances and caracteristical differences. The aim of this study is to lay down important bases, indispensable for the comprehension of clinical sciences, particularly medical imaging, internal medicine and surgery
Workshops : There are 90 hours of practical works (TP). These TP are obligatory and complementary to theoric lessons. They are organised by groupes of 45 to 50 students and by whole weeks, with individual questioning at the end of the week. The notes obtained for these interrogations are taken into account in the final evaluation at the time of the examination.

The following TPs are organised:

Osteology: 2 weeks

Arthrology of the horse: 1 week

Myology and splanchnology of the horse: 1 week

Myology and splanchnology of the ruminants: 2 weeks

The following TDs (direct works) are organised

Osteology (2 TD)

Myology of the horse (2 TD)

Central nervous system (1 TD)
Organization : 80 hours of theoric lessons are at the program. The typical horary includes 2 to 4 hours of anatomy lessons per week at the first quadrimester and 4 to 6 hours at the second quadrimester. Some courses are organised in small groups (TD) within the anatomy department and presence of the students is obligatory.
