Students are introduced to the anatomical framework and functioning of the interconnected body systems of domestic animals in this first of two anatomy and physiology courses. Emphasis is shared between anatomical structure and the body's homeostatic measures, depicting the mechanisms that balance and maintain the body's normal ranges. In each system, students investigate clinical examples as they pertain to veterinary care, highlighting body landmarks and exploring the anatomical pathology of commonly encountered diseases.
