About the Course
Are you interested in veterinary school or graduate school? Or do you just like animals and have a general curiosity of how they are put together, and how they function. In these courses you can understand the anatomy affiliated with many common clinical conditions that affect domesticated animals.
Such as-
  • Learn basic anatomy that will be applicable to, and ease your transition into, veterinary school
  • Learn the positions of organs and major structures in the living animal to an extent where you will be able to place your hands on any location on a live dog/cat/cow/horse and know what bones and organs lie underneath your hands
  • Learn what actually is done to your dog or cat when she or he is spayed or neutered (example of clinical correlate, many of these in the courses)
  • Learn what are the advantages/disadvantages of moving on 4 legs versus 2 legs (example of general applied comparative anatomy to help you understand form and function in the big picture, many of these in the courses)
This online course is the first of two in the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Basic Medical Sciences distance learning program that cover the basic anatomy of common domestic animals. We will focus on the canine and comparative anatomy of the equine, ruminant, and human, especially where species differences exist. The information is organized according to body systems. Clinical correlations are used to emphasize the importance of the basic anatomy. Permission of instructor required. Typically offered Fall, Spring, Summer.
Course Goals/Learning Objectives
Learning Outcomes:
  • Obtain a basic understanding of principles that can assist with comparing anatomical structures of major domestic species
  • Develop mental images of the animal to assist in knowing the orientation of structures in the living animal
  • Understand the anatomy behind and affiliated with many common clinical conditions that affect domesticated animals
  • Know enough basic anatomy to understand the results obtained from common imaging techniques
  • Identify anatomical structures on images, radiographs, anatomical models and live animals
 
Topics Covered:
  • Musculoskeletal anatomy and function – bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels; dog, cat, horse, cow and human (where appropriate); movement
  • Integument - skin, hair, nails, hoof, mammary gland; dog, cat, horse, cow and human (where appropriate)
