1 The objectives of this course is to teach the comparative anatomy of domestic animals to future doctors in veterinary medicine. The acquirement of this basic knowledge is essential to perform any medical act; to attribute any abnormal reaction of an anatomical region to a precise organ, to delimit the areas of auscultation, palpation or percussion; to define the precise sites of therapeutic or surgical interventions. The aim of this course is also to explain the physiology of an organ according to its anatomical characteristics and, by comparison, its abnormal functioning. The functional and clinical aspects of this comparative anatomy are particularly emphazised.
