Course description

Anatomy is the description of the macroscopic appearance of organs. It combines the representation of the body shape and body types with the representation of its components. The lecture covers the whole animal, while the internal representations are obtained by dissection. As knowledge of anatomy presupposes an understanding of the development of anatomical structures, the subject also includes the development of organs. Veterinary anatomy is based primarily on the study of the four main species of domestic mammals (horses, ruminants, carnivores and swine), but also includes a discussion of domestic birds. The anatomy curriculum has been designed to meet the growing demand for comprehensive knowledge in the university curriculum. Following the tradition of Hungarian anatomy teaching, we favour a “functional” approach. Accordingly, the first semester starts with the locomotor system (detailed discussion of bones, joints and muscles). We attach particular importance to the teaching of anatomy to students who have moved from high school to university in the first semester, when not only anatomy as a subject is to be mastered, but also a proper introduction to nomenclature is given. In the second semester, the more comprehensive visceral anatomy, which requires both comparative histology and functional knowledge, is introduced. The nervous system will be taught in the third semester in line with physiology and biochemistry.
