Objectives

The aims of the Systematic Anatomy I discipline are:
1. The acquirement of knowledge on the normal morphology of the locomotor system (bones, joints and muscles) of domestic animals (carnivores, ruminants, equines and swines).
2. The accurate designation of the anatomical structures according to the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching method includes theoretical classes (a) and practical classes (b), both 2 hours per week.
(a) In the theoretical classes, the systematic exposure of the contents is made using slides and occasionally video projection.
(b) In the practical classes, both observation and description of anatomical structures (bones and skeleton, dissected and fixed joints) previously prepared in the Department of Anatomy are made. Dissection, the main method for studying anatomy, is also performed in cadavers of dogs. Surface and radiographic anatomy are used whenever is considered useful.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Eligibility for exams

The students must attain to at least 2/3 of the practical classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

The evaluation consists in a Practical Evaluation (A) and a Written Evaluation (B).
The final classification will result from the sum of the classifications obtained in the two components of the evaluation. To be approved a minimal of 9,5 points is required

(A) The Practical Evaluation is composed of 2 anatomical practice tests (1,5 points each) and 2 written reports (1,5 points each) and is worth 6 points of the 20 points final classification. The practical tests and written reports are to be performed in the weeks determine by the Educational Board for the realization of intercalary evaluations. No minimal points are required.

(B) The Written Evaluation is worth 14 points of the 20 points final classification. This evaluation can be achieved by performing a single written test at the end of the semester. The single written test will be composed of 50 multiple choice questions and is worth 16 points of the 20 points final classification. No minimal points are required.
