Bachelor in veterinary medicine, 2nd yearToute l'année15
Holder(s) :  Annick Gabriel, N...
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  The course begins with the study of general osteology and arthrology, followed by special osteology, arthrology and hoof of the horse. Then, students study comparative osteology and arthrology in ruminants. General myology, splanchnology, endocrine glands and esthesiology are studied, followed by special myology, splanchnology, esthesiology and endocrine glands of the horse.
After that, all these matters are studied comparatevely 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. A the end of the lessons, students must be able to cite the general organisation of all the studied systems, to describe and draw the morphology of anatomical structures. In practics, the student must be able to adapt the knowledge to the professional requirements, particularly in the field of clinical sciences; medical imaging, semiology, propedeutics and surgery as well as in foodstuffs inspection
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 and the ruminant: 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 (1 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. Assistance to practical lessons is obligatory.
