CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF COURSE
One of the conditions for successfully completing the subject Anatomy II. in the winter semester, students actively participate in practical exercises. Students must successfully complete all prescribed dissections focusing on comparative anatomy and interspecies differences of the vascular and nervous systems of farm animals. Practical teaching is focused on the systematic, topographic and clinical anatomy of individual body areas of farm animals from the point of view of blood supply and innervation of individual organs and organ systems. 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.
Learning outcomes
After completing lectures and exercises from the subject Anatomy II. in the winter semester, students will gain knowledge about the structure and function of the organs of the vascular and nervous system, as well as an overview of the distance, course and branching of individual vessels and nerves in the body of farm animals. The teaching is focused on comparative anatomy in individual areas of the animal body (head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, thoracic and pelvic limb). Application of acquired knowledge in clinical practice focused on bleeding and innervation of organs, considering their practical, clinical use. Students will practically apply the acquired knowledge in connection with clinical subjects. Teaching in the given semester is focused on the interconnectedness and functionality of individual organ systems and their vascular supply and innervation.
Brief outline of the course
Subject Anatomy II. in the winter semester it is focused on the systematic, topographic and clinical anatomy of individual body areas of farm animals from the point of view of blood supply and innervation of individual organs and organ systems. Teaching in the summer semester includes: heart, brain, spinal cord, arteries, veins and nerves of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, thoracic and pelvic limbs, as well as the lymphatic system with individual lymph nodes, vessels and organs. Comparative anatomy and interspecies differences of the vascular and nervous systems of farm animals. Practical use of acquired knowledge in clinical practice when solving the problem of bleeding, innervation, but also lymph drainage of individual systems. The knowledge gained during the study of the vascular and nervous system in a given semester is continuously linked to clinical teaching.
