VNUR20190 Anatomy & Physiology for Vet Nursing II

Academic Year 2021/2022

This module covers the anatomy and physiology of species commonly seen in veterinary practice.

In addition, biochemistry underpinning normal function will be included.

Content: the digestive, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the reproductive and urinary systems. Anatomy and physiology of these systems including overall regulation, basic metabolism and basic biochemistry.

Two weeks of the module will focus on exotic animals.

The module includes electures, epracticals, practicals, problem classes, conversation classes and self-directed learning.

ePracticals are an important step to prepare students for practicals and must be completed prior to attending at the practical class.

Students are expected to attend at all practicals and the module co-ordinator must be informed if a student cannot attend.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module, the student will:
have a greater understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the digestive, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and reproductive and urinary systems and should be able to:
-explain the normal structure and function of these systems
-describe the basic anatomy and physiological concepts of these systems
-identify the major anatomical subdivisions within the the body and their components
-demonstrate anatomical location in a living animal and an anatomical specimen
-explain the physiological mechanisms taught
-explain basic biochemistry underpinning metabolism, fluid balance and nutrition
-appreciate comparative anatomy and physiology
