The main goal of Systematic Anatomy II is the teaching and learning, under a systematic perspective, of the following chapters: splanchnology, angiology, neuroanatomy (cranial nerves, autonomic nervous system and endocrine glands) and sense organs. The dog is used as the reference animal model but the anatomy of other domestic animals (cat, horse, cow, sheep, goat and pig) is also studied.
1. Theoretical scientific knowledge
1.1. To acquire knowledge and to understand the normal morphology of the viscera, circulation system, nervous system and sensory organs of domestic animals (carnivores, ruminants, equines and swines).
1.2. To know the anatomical structures designations according to the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria.
2. Skills
2.1. Methodical and rigorous observation and description.
2.2. To identify anatomical structures in animal cadavers.
3. General attitudes
3.1. Verbal communication.
3.2. Team work.
Sistematic Anatomy I
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. Peripheral Nervous System:
1.1. Cranial nerves: olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducent, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory e hypoglossal.
2. Autonomic Nervous System: sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
3. 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.
The teaching method includes theoretical classes (i) and practical classes (ii), both 2 hours per week/student.
(i) In the theoretical classes, the scientific contents are presented by the professor and are illustrated by images in slides (Power point). Other audiovisual material can also be used (ex. videotapes).
(ii) In the practical classes, both observation and description of anatomical materials (animal cadavers, part of cadavers and others anatomical models) are made. Dissection is performed in fresh organs collected at a slaughterhouse. Surface and radiographic anatomy are used whenever is considered useful.

The students must attain to at least 3/4 of the practical classes.
1. ATTENDANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
1.1. The evaluation consists in Continuous Evaluation (CA) and Final Evaluation (FE).
1.2. Continuous Evaluation – 2 points The students will be individually evaluated during the semester by the teacher responsible by their class. The methodology that will be used is determined by each teacher.
1.3. Final Evaluation – 18 points. The Final Evaluation consists in a Practical Evaluation (PE) and a Written Evaluation (WE) to be performed at the Evaluation Periods (regular and/or appeal).
1.3.1. Practical Evaluation – 4 points. The Practical Evaluation is composed of 1 anatomical practical test in which a minimal of 2 points is required for approval.
1.3.2. Written evaluation – 14 points. The Written Evaluation will be achieved by performing a single written test composed of 50 multiple choice questions. A minimal of 6 points is required.
2. PREVIOUS ATTENDANCE
2.1. The students that have previously attended to the practical classes are not obliged to Continuous Evaluation. In this circumstance, the Final Evaluation will worth 20 points that are distributed as following:
2.1.1. Practical evaluation – 4 points.
2.1.2. Written evaluation – 16 points.
2.1.3. The same rules and determinations established to the students who are for the first time attending to the Systematic Anatomy subject will be used regarding to the form and minimal points required on both practical and written evaluation.
3. PARTIAL TESTS
3.1. The Final Evaluation can be also achieved by performing 2 partial tests to be performed during the weeks determine by the Educational Board for the realization of the intercalary evaluations. In this case the following rules will be used.
3.2. Practical Evaluation will be divided in two anatomical practical tests. Attendance to the 2 tests and a minimal of 2 points in the sum of the 2 practice tests are required for approval.
3.3. Written evaluation will be divided in 2 partial written tests (25 multiple choice questions). Each written test will worth 7 (8 for students who have previously attendance in the subject) points and a minimal of 3 (3,4 points for students who have previously attendance in the subject) in each test is required to be approved. The final written grade will be obtained by the sum of the points of each written test
3.4. If a student chooses to attend to the Partial Tests he can also attend to the Final Evaluation of the Regular and/or Appeal Evaluation Periods whenever one of the following situations occur: a) the minimal of points in each written test is not achieved b) the minimal 2 points in the sum of the 2 anatomical practical tests is not achieved b) the sum of the points obtained in the Evaluations components does not reach 9, 5 points.
The students who will attend to Special Evaluation Periods (working students and / or finalist students) and / or Special Calls (associative leaders and / or overlapping of written tests) will be evaluated by a single oral examination that is worth 20 points.
The students who wish to improve its former classification will be evaluated by a single Written Test that is worth 20 points, unless they attend to Special Evaluation Periods or Special Calls. In this last case the rules established to these Evaluation Periods will be applied.
