Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

20.2K
Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body's structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. The word "anatomy" comes from a Greek root that means "to cut apart." Human anatomy was first studied by observing the body's exterior and the wounds of soldiers and other injuries. Later, physicians were allowed to...

Anatomical Terminology

12.7K
Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Preclinical Development: Overview

4.5K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Anatomy Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Learning Outcomes (LOs)

Background:

  • Veterinary anatomy education requires updated guidance on graduate competency levels.
  • Evolving veterinary profession necessitates adaptable curricula.
  • A formal review of veterinary anatomy learning outcomes (LOs) is essential for curriculum development.

Discussion:

  • A modified Delphi method involving 23 UK and Ireland-based veterinary anatomy educators was employed.
  • The study involved four stages: initial LO review, two Delphi rounds, and final screening.
  • Qualitative data on LO modification and rejection were analyzed via content analysis.

Key Insights:

  • 160 learning outcomes (LOs) were accepted to form the Veterinary Anatomy Core Syllabus.
  • Key themes included removing unnecessary detail and emphasizing graduate-relevant competencies.
  • The developed syllabus aims to ensure new veterinary graduates are safe and competent.

Outlook:

  • The Veterinary Anatomy Core Syllabus can guide curriculum planners, educators, and students globally.
  • This standardized syllabus supports consistent veterinary anatomy education worldwide.
  • It provides a benchmark for assessing anatomical knowledge in veterinary graduates.
