This course is designed to instruct veterinary technician students in the anatomy and physiology of common structures of small, food/fiber, laboratory, and exotic animals, and compare and contrast the structural and functional differences among various species. Students apply appropriate medical terminology to describe anatomical structures and their corresponding physiology relative to the animal’s position. This course will focus on the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems. The laboratory portion will correlate with lecture material and will help to visualize these concepts. Organ systems include the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems.
