This course provides an in-depth examination of small animal anatomy and physiology, focusing on the structure and function of major body systems. Students will explore the different systems including the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the relationships between anatomical structures and physiological processes and on applying this knowledge to assess animal health and address common clinical scenarios. Laboratory sessions will include dissections, physiological experiments, and hands-on experiences with diagnostic techniques to reinforce lecture material.
