Learning Outcomes |
|
|
In the context of the teaching of the course Anatomy of Farm Animals, the basic principles of macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of farm animals with elements of function (physiology) are given. At the same time, the basic morphological and functional differences of the studied systems in the different species of animals are described. Upon successful completion of the course students should: • Understand the structure of the cell and its function • Understand the different types of tissues of an animal organism • Be able to identify and indicate the bones, joints and muscles of the animal skeleton. Understand the basic skeletal anatomical differences between domestic mammals • Be able to recognize the position and function of the organs of the systems of an animal organism (circulatory, respiratory, digestive, genital, urinary, endocrine and nervous). • Understand and be able to describe the mechanism of nerve impulse transmission. Short and long reflective bow • To know the function of basic glands of the endocrine system, the hormones that are released and their role. • Be able to describe blood circulation • Understand and can describe the function of respiration • Understand the importance of ruminating and the specifics and functionality of ruminant stomachs • Be able to describe the mechanisms of digestion and absorption of nutrients • Understand the importance of the female genitalia, know the differences between the different species • Know the function of the breast (the effect of hormones on its function) • Know the importance of embryo transfer and why it is used • Know and can recognize embryonic components in different species of domestic mammals |

General Competences |
|
|
Graduates after obtaining the degree will: • Acquire the ability to search, analyze and synthesize data and information, using the necessary technologies • They have the necessary theoretical and practical background regarding the science of Animal Production and in particular in the application of new technologies (eg artificial insemination, embryo transfer) or zootechnical management (reproduction management, nutritional management) • Have the necessary background to be able to further their training. • Ability to make decisions • Autonomous and team work • Production of new ideas (knowledge of structure and operation constitute the basis for the development of new ideas mainly at the level of animal production management) • Ability to work in an international and interdisciplinary environment • Respect for the environment |
