Pet's Anatomy and Morphology
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students in-depth knowledge about the anatomy of conventional pets such as dogs and cats and unconventional as the hamster and rabbit, and general knowledge about the anatomy of some exotic animals. Specifically, it aims to provide knowledge of microscopic, macroscopic and topographic anatomy of organs, apparatuses, theoretical, practical and applicative, which can be integrated with the concepts learned in other teachings.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students must be able to identify and describe the morphofunctional aspects of the organs and systems of the animals studied during the lessons;to use correct and consistent language in anatomical disciplines;to apply the acquired knowledge to dialogue constructively and critically with the figures of the world of work in the practical management of pets or to face more in-depth studies if they decide to continue their training.

Lesson period
First semester
In the current situation, in which it is possible to teach in-presence, even if it is limited, lessons will be delivered in a mixed mode, which provides distance lessons and in-presence exercises, using, where necessary, the division of students into groups that will alternate in presence and distance.
The lessons will be delivered through a synchronous Microsoft Teams platform. When necessary for contingent reasons, lessons will take place asynchronously and will be uploaded both on the Ariel website of the course and on the Microsoft Teams platform.
Exams will take place, if possible, in presence.
If another lockdown is activated, both lessons and exercises will be delivered through the Microsoft Teams platform in synchronous mode. When necessary for contingent reasons, lessons will take place asynchronously and will be uploaded both on the Ariel site of the course and on the Microsoft Teams platform.
The exams will take place remotely through the University's "Moodle/SEB" platform.
