2- Overall aims of
course:
To provide basic information about the body cavities,
general and comparative anatomy of different visceral
systems (digestive, respiratory and uro-genital systems in
domestic animals).
To provide basic general knowledge about the
anatomical structures and description of the C.N.S. (brain
and spinal cord), and PNS (the cranial and spinal nerves as
well as the autonomic nervous system) in the horse.
To provide general knowledge about the lymph centers in
bovines.
To give basic information about the anatomical structure
of the sense organs (eye, ear), in addition to study of
anatomy of avian body.
To provide basic information about the origin, course and
distribution of main blood vessels in different parts of the
body.
To correlate anatomical facts with their applied
aspects in the Veterinary field.
