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 III is the third part of the anatomy course. It comes after anatomy of domestic animals I and II of the second year of the bachelor grade. It will be followed by clinic anatomy of domestic animals in the first master year.
The course will begin with the study of general and comparative angiology. Then, neurocran, general anatomy of central, peripherical and autonomous nervous system and sense organs will be developped. The main species studied will be domestic carnivores, horse, ruminants (ox, sheep and goat). Arteries, veins, lymphatics and peripheric nerves will be described topographically. As regards the central nervous system and the heart, the subject will be approached in a functional way. Comparative anatomy of birds will be studied as well as general and comparative foetal anatomy at the end of the course. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 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. The understanding of the matter is essential to pass the examination. 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. It is especially necessary to understand what you study! |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Knowledge of anatomy courses of the second year is indispensable. See this later in the section " evaluation ". |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| 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.
The student must be able to realise a nice dissection, to describe what he has dissected, to identify the different structures and their function. He has to look and learn what the other students has dissected.
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 ecampus will inform the student about the piece he has to dissect and that, with the aim to better prepare the TP. Assessments (pre-requisite questioning) will be made every beginning of week of practical class or by means of quiz on ecampus.
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. The last practical interrogation of the year will be certificative; it will concern the whole matter and its result will intervene in the note of examination.
There are 40 hours of practical works (TP)in the programm. These TPs and TDs are obligatory and complementary to theoric lessons. They are organised by groupes of 45 to 50 students and by week. The following TPs are organised. The matter is approached there in a regional way.
Dissection of head and neck (1 week)
Dissection of thoracic limb with pectoral girdle (1 week)
Dissection of pelvic limb with pelvic girdle (1 week)
Dissection of the trunk (thorax and abdomen) (1 week)
Comparative poultry anatomy (2h TP)
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. 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 rorm. Rubber boots and hands have to be washed in depth and disinfected at the end of each dissection. Students must be vaccinated againts tetanos. |

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| 26 hours of theoric lessons are at the program. The typical horary includes 2 hours of anatomy lessons per week from the end of the first quadrimester to the beginning of the 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 a graphic tablet, put "online" and permit an easier memorisation. A "bonus" may be allocate to the students that attend regularly the course.
A revision session 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 session. 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 and not for teaching! |

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| 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.
A list with the questions asked during the examination will be published on myulg or e-campus. 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 to describe the different parts, and 3 smaller questions, more precise. It is very important to know the precise topography of the structures, and to link them to the clinic. It is necessary to understand the matter to make a success of the examination.
To made a success of the examination, the student must be able of representing in a schematic way, the bones of the limbs with their axes (including belts), to place the members with regard to the trunk and to the vertebral column, to cite and place the main muscular masses. He must also know how to schematize the organs of every system and place them with regard to the skeleton. If these prerequisites are not acquired, it is impossible to understand the vascularization and the innervation.
The students experiencing difficulties can ask in the course of the year to pass "white" examinations. They have to book an appointment by e-mail and bound the subject about which they wish to be questioned. |
