Prerequisites

Cours LBIO1111 – biologie cellulaire et moléculaire
Cours LBIO1112 – biologie des organismes (partie animale)
Cours LVETE1141 – Anatomie des animaux domestiques I

Main themes

This second domestic animal anatomy course concerns the digestive, respiratory, urinary and genital systems. A final chapter is devoted to esthesiology (skin and derivatives), sense organs (sight, hearing/balance, smell, taste and tactile sensitivity) as well as endocrine glands.
For each system or organ, an in-depth study is carried out in three reference animals (dogs, horses and cattle). A comparative study is then carried out in cats, small ruminants, pigs, rabbits and birds.
The location of the different structures on radiographs is also discussed during the practical work.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

precisely locate any organ of a domestic animal, choose the places for auscultation, palpation, percussion and any propaedeutic act identify the different structures seen (including those seen during LVETE1141) on x-rays choose specific locations for diagnostic or therapeutic intervention make the link with the histology of tissues and the normal and pathological functioning of these systems and organs.

Content

Morpho-functional study of the digestive, respiratory, urogenital and endocrine systems, as well as the sense organs, the skin and associated glands

Teaching methods

Lecture in audience based on powerpoints and diagrams made on the board
Dissections: dog, cat, equine, sheep, rat, rabbit, chicken
X-ray examination

Evaluation methods

• Theory: written exam including diagrams to create and/or label, multiple choice questions, open questions and short answer questions. The theoretical exam is worth half of the points for the year
• Practical work:
  • Radiology: written exam based on the analysis of x-rays (in session) (25% of the practical work grade)
  • Dissection: continuous assessment during dissection sessions (25%); dissection exam (50%) (in session or out of session).

The practical exam is worth half the points.
The final mark is based on the average of the two parts of the evaluation (theory and practical work) provided that a minimum mark of 8/20 is obtained for each part, otherwise it is the mark of the worst part which will be kept.
