Objectives

The aims of the Systematic Anatomy II are:
1. To acquire knowledge on the normal morphology of the viscera, circulations organs, nervous system and sensory organs of domestic animals (carnivores, ruminants, equines and swines).
2. To know the anatomical structures designations according to the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria.

Program

I. SPLANCHNOLOGY
1. Compared Anatomy of the Digestive System:
1.1. Digestive system of the carnivores: mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus; peritoneum, stomach, intestines; liver and pancreas.
1.2. Digestive system of the ruminants (post-diaphragmatic organs): stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas.
1.3. Digestive system of the horses (post-diaphragmatic organs): stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas.
1.4. Digestive system of the pigs (post-diaphragmatic organs): stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas.
2. Compared Anatomy of the Female Genital Organs: ovaries, uterine tube, uterus, vagina, vulva, ligaments and mesos.
3. Compared Anatomy of the Male Genital Organs: testis, epididymis, ductus deferens; spermatic cord, tunic vaginalis and scrotum; accessory genital glands; penis and prepuce, ligaments and mesos.
4. Compared Anatomy of the Urinary Organs: kidneys, renal pelvis, ureter and urinary bladder, urethra and ligaments.
5. Compared Anatomy of the Respiratory System: nose and nasal cavity; nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree; pleura, pleural cavity and mediastinum; lungs.

II. THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
1. Heart and pericardium.
2. Arterial System: pulmonary circulation (pulmonary trunk) and systemic circulation (aorta).
3. Venous and Lymphatic Systems:
3.1. Venous System: cranial vena cava and caudal vena cava, azygos vein, portal vein and pulmonary veins)
3.2. Lymphatic System: lymphatic vessel system; lymphatic organs (tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen and thymus).

III. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
1. Central Nervous System: spinal cord and brain (forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain); meninges, cerebro-spinal fluid and ventricular system.
2. Peripheral Nervous System:
2.1. Spinal nerves: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, caudal, brachial plexus and lumbarsacral plexus.
2.2. Cranial nerves: olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducent, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory e hypoglossal.
3. Autonomic Nervous System: sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
4. Endocrine System: hypophysis, epiphysis, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands and adrenal glands.

IV. SENSORY ORGANS
1. The eye: orbit, eyeball and its adnexa (orbital fasciae, extraocular muscles, eyelids, conjuntiva and lacrimal apparatus)
2. The ear: external, middle and inner ear.

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 materials (organs and others structures previously fixed) are made. Dissection is performed in dogs cadavers and fresh organs collected at a slaughter house. Anatomical models are also used. 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 (2 points each) and is worth 4 points of the 20 points final classification. These practical tests 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 16 points of the 20 points final classification. This evaluation can be achieved by performing a single written test at the end of the semester (B1) or by performing two written intercalary multiple choice tests (B2).

(B1). 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.

(B2). If the student chooses to perform the two written intercalary multiple choice tests, in the weeks predetermine by the Educational Board, the final Written Evaluation will result from the sum of the classifications obtained in those two tests. Each intercalary test is worth 8 points of the 20 points final classification. A minimal of 3,0 points is required in the first intercalary tests to attend to the second intercalary test.
The attendance to the intercalary tests does not compromise the realization of the single written test at the end of the semester if the following conditions occur: a) the minimal points required are not achieved in one of the intercalary tests; b) the sum of the classifications obtained in the intercalary tests and the Practical Evaluation is smaller than 9,5 points.
