Learning outcomes:

 

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

1.    Identify and describe anatomical features of skeletal, muscular, articular, vascular and nervous components of head and neck region (Practical only).

2.    Identify and describe anatomical features of Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Genital and Endocrine Systems (organs of thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities).

3.    Identify and describe anatomical features of skeleton and viscera of domestic chicken.

4.    Indicate topographical location of organs on live animals (Practical only).
