Base Knowledge
Biology
Teaching Methodologies
1) Theoretical descriptive exposure; 2) Demonstrative practical classes with handling bones, viscera and parasites; 3) Execution of a work on one assigned animal health theme under oriented literature research; 4) Literature and analysis of articles and research reports on the contents of the UC
Learning Results
1. To know the exterior of the animal, its general musculoskeletal organization, the aprumus and its deficiencies, the anatomical structure of the animal’s basin and its connections to the process of childbirth;
2. To know the anatomy and physiology of the different organic systems, with particular incidence for the reproductive and lactopoietic functions, their zootechnical applications
3. To know the defense mechanisms in animals and the principles of immunization and etiological pathogenesis, in an epidemiological and animal health context, with approach to some pathologies
Program
Objective 1 (40%): outside the animal and its skeletal organization; ossification and calcium metabolism; joints; aprumos and their deficiencies; basin and birthing process; muscular physiology and some muscles
Objective 2 (40%): anatomical physiology of cardio-respiratory, circulatory, immune, digestive and genito-urinary systems; reproductive and lactopoietic function and zootechnical applications;
Objective 3 (20%): pathogens; immune system and immunization; etiological pathogenesis in an epidemiological, animal health and public health context; some pathologies (metabolic, parasitic and infectious-contagious)
