Objectives

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 and autonomic nervous system) 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.

Learning outcomes and competences

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.

Comments from the literature

It will be given to students notes on the comparative anatomy of the digestive and urinary tract, as well as protocols of the practical classes.

Eligibility for exams

Calculation formula of final grade

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 and a Written Evaluation to be performed at the Evaluation Periods (regular and/or appeal).
1.3.1. Practical Evaluation – 4 points. The Practical Evaluation is composed of a test that consist on the identification of several anatomical structures.  Attendance to the test 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 multiple choice questions and written answer questions. A minimal of 6 points is required.

1.4. Students may choose to take the tests corresponding to the final exam divided by the mid-term evaluation weeks. In these circumstances, the following standards shall be complied with:
1.4.1. Practical test: consists of 2 tests of identification of anatomical structures (2 values each). It is mandatory to attend the 2 exams.
1.4.2. Theoretical test: consists of 2 tests ("frequencies") composed of multiple choice questions and written answer questions. Each frequency is quoted to 7 values (8 values for students with continuous assessment waiver - see section 2). It is mandatory to obtain a minimum grade of 3.0 values (3.4 values for students with waiver of continuous assessment - see point 2) in each frequency.

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.

2.2. 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.

2.3. Students may re-attend practical classes upon authorization of the UC regent and may choose to improve the component of continuous assessment. In these circumstances, are apllied the evaluation rules defined for students enrolled for the first time in the UC.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applied.

Internship work/project

Not applied.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

To 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) the evaluation rules defined for students enrolled for the first time/previous attendance in the UC will be applied.

Classification improvement

It is only possible to improve the component corresponding to the final exam, being mandatory the appearance in both tests - theoretical and practical.
