Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students should be able to know morphological microscopic and macroscopic features of the digestive, genitourinary, and endocrine systems and the organization of the nervous system of the domestic mammals; the student should be able to recognize the main anatomical differences among species.
Course contents
Digestive apparatus of domestic mammals: mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, guttural pouch, esophagus, stomach and forestomachs, small and large intestine, liver, pancreas.
Urinary apparatus: kidney and urinary flow pathway (renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder,Urethra).
Female and male genital apparatus.
Central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system. Receptors. Autonomic nervous system: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous system.
Eye and ear.
Endocrine apparatus: hypophysis (pituitary gland), hypothalamus-hypophysis axis, epiphysis (pineal gland), thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal glands (suprarenal glands), endocrine pancreas, endocrine systems of testicle and ovary.

Teaching methods
The teacher will discuss the various topics covered by this course emphasizing the practical importance of the various anatomical structures in question.
Students will put into practice the knowledge learned in class during practice sessions in dissecting room. Small groups of students carry out the practical exercises independently under the supervision of the teacher.
Assessment methods
The exam takes place through in itinere tests and a final exam, which ensures the acquisition of knowledge and skills expected by conducting an oral exam followed, if exceeded, by a practical test in the dissecting room, in which students must recognize and describe some organs (three different organs) already studied during the course of study.
Teaching tools
PC: power point and video;
overhead projector
dissecting room: practical exercitation on fresh or fixed tissues
