TV1003 - Animal Structure and Function
| Credit points: | 06 |
| Year: | 2018 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 3 |
| Administered by: | College of Public Health, Medical & Vet Sciences |
Available to BVSc students only
This subject is the first of three subjects in the BVSc programme which are designed to provide students with a solid understanding of the structure and function of animals, and the techniques that are available to study them. The focus will be on animal embryology, veterinary anatomy, histology and physiology. These basic sciences underpin 'normal' animal function. Knowledge of normal structure function is required for the understanding of diseases and disease processes and their management.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate active and consistent collaboration in small group work;
- describe the normal structure, function and development of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and special senses of domestic animals and livestock;
- define and apply subject specific vocabulary; discuss and apply the principles of biosafety in relation to the handling of animal tissues.
