One of the conditions for successfully completing the subject Anatomy II. in the winter semester, students actively participate in practical exercises. Students must successfully master all prescribed dissections with a focus on the comparative anatomy of individual organ systems and organs. Practical teaching is focused on the systematic, topographic and clinical anatomy of individual areas not only of farm animals, but also of laboratory animals and poultry. Self-study with up-to-date dissection material will also help to successfully pass the interim study checks in the given semester. The continuous control of the study is realized by a practical form of examination in the 7th and 13th week of the semester in the dissection room.

Subject Anatomy II. in the winter semester it is focused on systematic, topographical and clinical anatomy according to individual areas: head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, thoracic and pelvic limbs with a focus on the interconnectedness and functionality of individual systems. Teaching in the winter semester includes: digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive system, sensory organs and skin in farm, laboratory animals and poultry. Comparative anatomy of organs and organ systems of farm animals, laboratory animals and poultry. Practical use of acquired knowledge in clinical practice when solving the problems of individual systems. The knowledge gained during the study of splanchnology in a given semester is continuously linked to clinical teaching.
