Program Summary
Veterinary Anatomy is a fundamental course in veterinary medicine that focuses on the structure of animals' bodies. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the form, function, and organization of various anatomical systems, including skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems. The course typically covers both macroscopic (gross anatomy) and microscopic (histology) aspects, often using dissections, models, and imaging techniques to aid learning. Comparative anatomy is also emphasized, as different species have unique anatomical adaptations. Mastery of veterinary anatomy is essential for clinical practice, surgery, and diagnostics, enabling veterinarians to understand normal structures, recognize abnormalities, and perform medical procedures effectively.
