Learning unit contents
Anatomy is the science of organizing living things. Basis of the teaching of medicine, it is above all an indispensable introduction to the knowledge of the healthy organism and its functions. Veterinary anatomy is general and comparative: it deals with all the domestic animal species of which it describes the similarities and the characteristic differences. The Animal Anatomy Course II is the second part of the Anatomy course. It follows the course of anatomy of domestic animals I, and will be followed by courses of anatomy III and IV, in the 3rd year of the bachelor's degree. In block 2, the anatomy course has 2 parts: the anatomy part I concerns the musculoskeletal system (limbs and belts) (30h CT, 4h TD, 48h TP) and the part II the neckline, the trunk, the splanchnocrane and splanchnology (30h CT, 6h TD, 48h TP). We will begin the course with the study of splanchnocrane, neck and thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities. The bones and joints of the axial skeleton were described during the course of anatomy I. The thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities with the muscles that border them will be successively studied. The main species studied will be domestic carnivores, equines and domestic ruminants. We will then study the digestive system. In a second step, we will study the respiratory system then the urogenital system. The subject will be approached in a descriptive way but above all in a functional and topographic way. The main species studied will be domestic carnivores, equines and domestic ruminants. The particularities of pork and rabbit will also be studied.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student must know the basic anatomical vocabulary, must be able to quote the general organization of all systems studied; describe and draw the morphology of anatomical structures and explain their functions.
In practice, the student will have to be able to adapt this knowledge to the professional requirements in the field of clinical sciences, in particular medical imaging, semiology, propaedeutic and surgery, as well as in the context of food inspection. food.
Learnings tips: Anatomy is a big lesson that can be frightening to some students who think they need to learn everything by heart. However, even if long hours of learning are necessary, especially for the acquisition of basic vocabulary and nomenclature, the many links existing with courses in physiology, histology, biochemistry, pathology make the study very interesting . The understanding of the subject is indispensable and proves to be much more important than the knowledge of small sharp details without clinical interest. When studying an organ, it is necessary to know how to locate it both within the system concerned and from a topographic point of view. The structure / function relationship is particularly important to know (functional anatomy). When one studies, one must start with the "table of contents", then the main titles, the general conformation, the main characteristics and the location, the function, before going on to study the small details.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
It is indispensable to have followed the first part of the course (Anatomy I) to approach the second part of the course (Anatomy II).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Assistance to practical lessons is obligatory.Presences are recorded daily. PT groups and schedules are available on the student portal of the faculty website and on the CELCAT calendar. The program includes 48 hours of practical work and 6 hours of tutorials. These TP and TD are mandatory and complementary to the theoretical courses. They are organized in groups of 45 to 50 students, per session of 4am in the morning (8h30-12h30). Each session of osteology and each week of TP begins with a TD that serves as a refresher and describes how to proceed for the study of bones and joints, and during dissections. The osteology sessions are held in the osteology room and in the dissection room opposite. The dissection sessions are held exclusively in the dissection room (see the "biosecurity" link for access). The TP is very useful to assimilate the material and to link theoretical descriptions to a manipulation of visual and real of the different anatomical structures, provided to arrive in room having revised and prepared the matter of the subjects of dissection, as a minimum. The species studied during the TP are the horse, the cattle, the dog and the cat. Specific TPs on pork and rabbit are also organized.
Organization and subject of the practical sessions: Osteo 1 (4h): Osteology of the head (skull, face, mandible, hyoid apparatus), temporomandibular joints and hyoid apparatus (obs. On dried parts) Osteo 2 (4h) Nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses, Mouth cavities and teeth. Week dissection 1 (16h, 4 times 4h): myology and splanchnology of the head, neck and cranial part of the thoracic cavity; Week dissection 2 (16h, 4 times 4h): myology and splanchnology of the caudal part of the thoracic cavity, the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. All this information is included and detailed in the file "Workflow of TP" deposited on eCampus before the start of TP.
For dissections, students are grouped in teams of 2 to 4 students: each team is responsible for the dissection of the parts attributed to them, both for arthrology and for myology and splanchnology. This information is available in a file deposited on eCampus before the week of TP, in order to better organize and prepare TP. On Fridays of dissection weeks, students are present to take the TP oral assessment. The order of passage is communicated during the week (eCampus). These interrogations are formative; they are intended to inform the student of his level of knowledge and understanding of the subject and to best prepare him for the assessment on the day of the exam. In the inverse class of splanchnology, the evaluation will be certifying, it represents 1/5 of the TP note (see evaluation methods). The evaluation grid used by the assistants to record you and an example will be available on eCampus.
For the practical activities of this UE, the student will have to know and apply the biosecurity rules available at the following address: https://www.fmv-biosecurite.ulg.ac.be/anatomie/ walk-to-follow-unique
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
30 hours of theoric lessons are at the program. The typical horary includes 4 to 6 hours of anatomy lessons per week at 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 and permit an easier memorisation. Most of the lessons are podcast. A revision session can be organised at the end of the year at the request of the students. 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 methods and criteria
At the end of the second quadrimester, a two-part examination; a theoretical and a practical, will be organized. In the second session, this examination may, depending on the number of students representing the course, be preceded by a prerequisite examination. If the student does not pass this prerequisite exam, they will not be able to take their oral exam and practical exam. The theoretical exam consists of a written preparation followed by an oral exam, which accounts for 70% of the final mark. The student draws a sheet with 4 identical questions of "weight" (1 on the locomotor system, 3 on the splanchnology, one per system). The general morphology, the topography, the structure / function relationship and the specific features will be discussed. To pass the exam, it is essential to have understood the material and know how to make sufficiently precise diagrams to explain the functional particularities. Students in difficulty or undergoing an oral examination may apply for a blank examination during the course of the year. They must make an appointment by mail and delimit the subject on which they wish to be questioned.
The practical exam is oral and deals with the recognition and description of the different structures and organs with their functions. It counts for 30% of the final grade. One-fifth of the TP score is represented by the summative evaluation of the inverse class of splanchnology. The evaluation grid used by the assistants and an example will be available on eCampus. The TP exam (4/5 of the TP rating) consists of: (1) recognizing and describing various bone, joint, muscle and tendon structures; (2) give the origins and insertions as well as the main functions of the muscles, (3) recognize and describe different organs, (4) give their functions and their topography. Schedules established for these examinations must be strictly respected. There is no partial exemption in this teaching unit. A student with a grade of less than 10/20 must represent both the theoretical and practical parts of the exam in the second session

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
The theory was taught entirely in the classroom
The "internal head" and "external head" osteology practical work was done face-to-face.
The practical work of myology and splanchnology had to be eliminated. New videos presenting the dog and horse myology and the dog and horse splanchnology were produced and posted on e-campus. They complement the videos on ruminant myology and splanchnology, pig and rabbit splanchnology previously posted on e-campus.
These videos will serve as the basis for 2 parts of the practical exam
