Objectives

To provide students with an understanding of systematic pathology including etiology and pathogenesis of the diseases of domestic and farm animals, as well as some exotic animals, as they relate to veterinary practice. A basic understanding of histopathology and gross pathology of pathological processes involving the alimentary system, liver, pancreas and salivary glands, peritoneum, skin and cardiovascular system. Necropsy technique with sample selection, collection and sending to histopathology laboratory.

Learning outcomes and competences

 

 

Perform a necropsy, select, collect and send pathological samples to histopathological laboratory; write a complete necropsy report; Identify macroscopic lesions and draw up a list of differential diagnosis; Understand the etiopathogeny and recognize the lesions, both macroscopic and microscopic, of pathological processes involving the alimentary system, liver, pancreas and salivary glands, peritoneum, skin and cardiovascular system.

Eligibility for exams

It is necessary to attend to, at least, 75% of the practical classes to perform the theoretical exam.

Calculation formula of final grade

1) Written theoretical exam (50%) 2) Practical exam(40%) 3)Necropsy reports and continuous evaluation in practical classes(10%).

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students with special needs should contact timely the Teacher in order to solve all these situations.
