Learning Goals
The Anatomy I is the first of the three Anatomy curricular units in the course, which aim to teach the morphology, by systems, of animals of veterinary interest as well as the acquisition of knowledge on anatomical terminology. It is intended that the student acquires knowledge of anatomical language, concepts of symmetry and plans and morphology of the locomotor system (osteology, arthrology and myology) of domestic animals. It is intended that the student knows how to identify the anatomical structures in animal models, in sections of preserved corpses and in corpses and use the correct anatomical terminology in their communication. As skills, it is intended that the student can describe the various bone components and to relate them; be able to enumerate the structural elements of the joints and classify them, identify the muscular components of the different regions and differences between species.
Contents
Domestic mammals: introduction to Anatomy. Anatomical nomenclature. Notions of symmetry.
Osteology: Divisions of the skeleton. Typology of bones. Bone accidents. Vertebral column: regions and composition. Skeleton of the chest: ribs and sternum. Girdle and thoracic limb: osteology of the arm, forearm, and hand. Girdle and pelvic limb: osteology of the thigh, leg, and foot. Head: skeleton of the face and skull, mandibular skeleton, and hyoid apparatus. Joints: characteristics and classification. Spinal articular systems and ligaments. Articular systems of the thorax. Joints of the thoracic and pelvic girdle and of the thoracic and pelvic limbs. Head joints. Comparative study between the main species.
Myology: notions of myology, classification of muscles and attachments. Muscles of the head, neck, rachis, and nape. Muscles of the chest and diaphragm. Muscles of the abdomen and perineum. Muscles of the girdle and thoracic limb. Muscles of the girdle and pelvic limb.

Teaching Methods
The methodology is divided between theoretical classes (T) and practical laboratory classes (PL). In the T classes an exposition of the themes is made and in the PL classes each student must identify the bone parts, joints and muscles and compare between species. The study is based on anatomical models, preserved parts and the bodies of small ruminants and dogs.
Assessment
In this course there is a final exam and continuous avaliation (frequency regime). The first corresponds to 1 final oral exam covering the entire syllabus and is held during the normal exam period. Students who obtain a mark of 10 or more in the final oral exam will pass the course.
The frequency system consists of a first frequency, which is written test in the middle of the semester, with a weight of 40%, and a second frequency, which is an oral test, with a weight of 60%, to be taken at the end of the semester. To pass the course, the student must have a mark equal to or greater than 10 value in each of the exams, after which the weighted average of the two exams is taken.
