Course abstract

Anatomy is the foundation for all biological knowledge. Anatomy of Domestic Animals is the science of the structure of animal body. Anatomy of the Domestic Animals is very close connected with cell biology, histology, microscopically anat-omy and physiology. Anatomy is the basis of clin-ical sciences.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge: students are able to describe and ex-plain the anatomical structure of organ systems and apparatuses of the domestic animals - 10 col-loquiums.
Skills: students are able to identify and describe the organs of horses, ruminants, swine, carnivores and domestic fowl. Skills are acquired and evalu-ated in practical work during the preparation of study material and in response to colloquiums.
Competency: ability to analyse, compare and dif-ferentiate the body structure of domestic animals, its peculiarities in different animal species, apply-ing it to the clinical practice.
Competences are assessed in practical work with 10 oral colloquiums.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Successfully completed 10 colloquiums and final examination and unjustified delays in lectures and practical work do not exceed 30% of the total ac-ademic hours.
In order to be able to arrange colloquia, you must have passed the study course Anatomy of domes-tic animals II, which is allowed during the first 4 weeks from the beginning of the study course Anatomy of domestic animals III.
If the exam of Anatomy of domestic animals III is not passed during the first 4 weeks of the next study semester and / or unjustified absences are more than 30% of the total number of academic hours, then the study course must be re-acquired in the next study year, following the study course plan.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

The tasks of homework are assessed in accordance with the tasks specified in the practical work.
Students independently acquire and strengthen their knowledge in the structures of domestic an-imals and anatomical differences in domestic ani-mal species. Independently learns new anatomical terminology, following the content of the course plan.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

Colloquiums are evaluated on the 10-point scale, the score is scored from 4 to 10 points. Evaluation of a colloquium depends on the presentation of practical and theoretical knowledge. The answer-ing of the colloquiums take place sequentially ac-cording to the course plan at the study material.
Each wet material of the colloquium is stored for 30 days from the moment of its production.
After completing the colloquium plan student must take an oral examination and answer to 3 questions in the ticket.
Students who have at least 7 points and above in colloquiums, in agreement with the lecturer may skip the exam, but instead prepare a presentation material for the study course. As a final mark, av-erage arithmetic score from the evaluation of the colloquiums taken by the study course is given.
FORCE MAJURE
Events that are out of control (fires, floods, riots, war or other similar situation) that delay or hinder the fulfilment of the set obligations are taken into account and student may answer the colloquiums /exam remotely without the presence of study ma-terial.
