VETT 1020 - Applied Anatomy & Physiology-Lecture Credit Hours: 4.00 Prerequisites: Admission into the Veterinary Technician Program
VETT 1020 instructs veterinary technician students in the anatomy and physiology of common structures of small and large animals. Students apply appropriate medical terminology to describe anatomical structures and their corresponding physiology relative to the animal’s position and compare and contrast the structural and functional differences among various species. The course also covers purebred cat breeds and abnormal behavior disorders in dogs and cats and provides a strong foundation for further study of veterinary technical skills.
