| Course contents : | 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 course anatomy of domestic animals I is the first part of the anatomy course. It will be followed by anatomy of domestic animals II in the third bachelor and clinic anatomy of domestic animals in the first master year.
This course represent 15 credits which means that a student that fails in september will not have a 48 success.
The course comprises 2 partims: limbs (22h CT, 5h TD, 49h TP) and splanchnocran, neck and trunk (34h CT, 5h TD, 49h TP).
The course begins with the study of the limbs. Osteology, arthrology, myology and esthesiology will be successively studied for the fore and rear limb. The main species studied will be domestic carnivores, horse, ruminants with special attention for equine digit.
The second part of the course will concern the splanchnocran, neck and trunk. After studying osteology, arthrology and myology, general and compared splanchnology will be studied.
The main species studied will be domestic carnivores, horse, ruminants (ox, sheep and goat).
The peculiarities of the pig and rabbit will also be studied. |
|
| Course objective : | 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
Anatomy is a big course that may frighten several students that believe that they must learn by heart. However, even if long hours are necessary to learn it, the numerous connections made with physiology, histology, biochemistry and pathology make it very interesting and necessitate its comprehension.
It is usefull to begin with the study of the table of content, with big titles and then general conformation, main characteristics, function and localisation before studying small details. |
|
| Workshops : | Assistance to practical lessons is obligatory. A student with 2 or more non justified absences during the TPs may be forbidden to present his exam during the first session.
There are 98 hours of practical works (TP)and 10h of directed works (TD). These TP and TD are obligatory and complementary to theoric lessons. They are organised by groupes of 45 to 50 students, with 8 or 16h of TP by week. The student must be able to realise a nice dissection, to describe what he has dissected, to identify the different structures ans their function.
Each week will begin with one hour TD, refresher course, which also describe "how to do" the dissection. The students must prepare their dissections. A file, published on myulg or webCT will inform the student about the piece he has to dissect and that, with the aim to better prepare the TP.
Questioning about pratical knowledge will be regularly organised during the year. These interrogations are mainly formative but the notes obtained for these interrogations can be taken into account in the final evaluation at the time of the examination; they frequently "save" a bad practical exam.
The following TPs are organised:
Partim limbs: 8h osteology, 8h arthrology, 16h myology (forelimb), 16h myology (rearlimb)
Partim neck and trunk: 8h osteology, 8h arthrology, 16h myology (neck and thorax, including splanchnology), 16h myology (abdomen and pelvic girdle including splanchnology). Compared splanchnology of the pig, rabbit and poultry, 2hTD and 2hTP.
Biosecurity measures: the acces to the dissection rooms (B43, Niv 1) is by the rear of the B43 (parking side). Students come with their own rubber boots, latex (or silicone) gloves and dissection case. Wearing gloves is obligatory. It is forbidden to drink, eat or smoke within the dissection room. Students must wear apron and rubber boots as soon as they penetrate the dissection room and these must be take away as soon as they live the room. Rubber boots and hands have to be washed in depth and disinfected at the end of each dissection. Students must be vaccinated againts tetanos. |
|
| Organization : | 56 hours of theoric lessons are at the program. The typical horary includes 2 to 4 hours of anatomy lessons per week at the first and second quadrimester. Assistance to theoric lessons is not compulsory. However, it is strongly advised because the way to address the course is clearly developped. Schemes and drawings are frequently realised on the blackboard and permit an easier memorisation. A "bonus" may be allocate to the students that attend regularly the course.
A revision session (4h) will be organised at the end of the year. The matters that are not understood must be transmitted to the delegates that will draw up a list they will transmit to prof. Gabriel some days before the sessions. The theoric lessons, the TDs and the revision session are the only moments where the theory is developped. The aim of the TPs is for training and practical knowledge. |

| Assessment : | At the end of the second quadrimester, the examination consists of two main part: a theoretical and a practical examination.The theoretical part consists of a written part followed by an oral examination. The pratical part is a dissection work.
The horaries established for these examinations must be strictly respected. Every change must have the occeptation of prof. Gabriel.
A list with the questions asked during the examination will be published on myulg or webCT. When the student come for its examination, he will draw a card with 4 questions: a big integrator question, for which it is necessary to have an overal view tu describe the different parts, and 3 smaller questions more precise. The general morphology, the topography, the relation between structure and function and then the specificities will be approach. |
