Syllabus
Prerequisiti: Students are required to have knowledge of general and cell biology.
Conoscenze e abilita' da acquisire: The purpose of the course is to give students a useful knowledge of apparatus and organs of the most common species of wild and laboratory animals. Students will be able to describe and identify as well as understand relationships between organs and the adaptive changes they have undergone during evolution.
Modalita' di esame: Written and practical test
Criteri di valutazione: The examination will cover both practical and theoretical learning objectives.
Evaluation criteria include degree of knowledge of acquired information, understanding of the relationship/integration between different body systems, ability to explain the diverse adaptation to environment, acquisition of the correct anatomical terminology.
Contenuti: The course will focus on structural and functional evolution of selected organ systems in representative species among vertebrates.
One part of the course will review the principals of the comparative anatomy and the evolutionary relationships among vertebrates. In the remainder of the course, structure of organs and their organization will be interpreted in terms of their embryological development, morphological and functional adaptations (in big cats, elephants, giraffes and cetaceans). The course presents the microscopic and gross anatomy of selected carnivores, herbivores, lagomorphs, rodents, fishes, birds, reptiles, utilizing laboratory applications as a basis for anatomical understanding. Other disciplines such as histology will also be included when they assist in anatomical comprehending.
Lectures, laboratories and seminars will be included as part of the course. The laboratory part will require the active participation of students in the dissection and examination of major organ systems. The laboratory is a required part of the course.

The course lectures cover:
- Development and organization of the animal body plan
- Muscoskeletal system of vertebrates and adaptation for terrestrial locomotion, swimming and flight (8hrs)
- Integumentary system and sense organs (6 hrs)
- Digestive system (6hrs)
- Respiratory system (4 hrs)
- Urinary system (4 hrs)
- Reproductive system (6 hrs)
- Heart (4hrs)
The laboratory part of the course includes:
- The dissection of bony and cartilaginous fishes, reptiles (Testudines and Squamata orders), birds (chicken, pigeon) and mammalian cadavers in necropsy room.
- The study of skeleton in the comparative osteology room.
- The study of the organ structure in the microscope room
Attivita' di apprendimento previste e metodologie di insegnamento: The course includes 40 hours of lectures, 32 hours of lab sessions and hands on activities to reinforce anatomical principles discussed in lecture sessions. Practical activities are based on participative interaction, with group discussion and evaluation tests. A computer facilitated study using animal anatomy software will help students in identifying relationships and locations of anatomical structures as well as practicing anatomical vocabulary.
On completion of this course, the student shall be able to:
1. Identify significant portions of the major organ systems of most wild and laboratory animals
2. Describe and explain the functional morphology of adult structures in vertebrates using proper terminology.
3. Dissect vertebrates with confidence.
