Subject Overview: |
Veterinary Bioscience 2 continues the integrated and interdisciplinary approach to the study of organ function and dysfunction in animals that is introduced in Veterinary Bioscience 1. Building on students’ prior knowledge of organ function and dysfunction and their experience of scientific and clinical reasoning, this subject introduces students to the structure and normal functioning of the haemopoietic and lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal and integumentary, reproductive and neuroendocrine systems, and to the principles of dysfunction of these systems. Students will be introduced to the clinical disciplines of pharmacology and therapeutics, diagnostic imaging and clinical pathology as they relate to these systems. Using case based teaching approaches they will apply their understanding of organ and system function and dysfunction to authentic situations that enhance the development of integrative clinical reasoning abilities, and to analysis of cases that involve multiple organ perturbation. |
