| Relation to curriculum | Course description: This course covers the topographic anatomy of body elements and organs, with a focus on the head, neck, forelimbs, and hindlimbs of domestic animals, especially horses and dogs, as well as common abnormalities in these areas to understand their clinical significance. Relation to curriculum: This course complements previous anatomical studies by focusing on the spatial relationships and clinical implications of body structures, particularly in key areas relevant to clinical examination and surgical intervention in veterinary practice, thereby enhancing students’ proficiency in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. |
