To acquire a basic knowledge of small mammals recently introduced as companion animals,focusing on comparative anatomy from a clinically-oriented and/or a productive point of view.
Our purpose is to complement the anatomic instruction of the veterinary student that may be interested in these species.
LECTURES
Lesson-1. Laboratory rodents: rat, mouse, guinea pig. Main anatomical and physiological features. Application to clinical exploration and animal experimentation. Husbandry, behaviour, feeding others needs and welfare (5 hours).
Lesson -2. Other rodents. Main anatomical and physiological features. Application to clinical exploration and animal experimentation. Husbandry, behaviour, feeding, others needs and welfare (6 hours).
Lesson -3. Rabbit. Main anatomical and physiological features. Application to clinical exploration and animal experimentation. Husbandry, behaviour, feeding, others needs and welfare (2 hours).
Lesson -4. Mustelidae. Main anatomical and physiological features. Application to clinical exploration and animal experimentation. Husbandry, behaviour, feeding, others needs and welfare (2 hours).
Lesson -5. Other exotic mammals with veterinary interest. Main anatomical and physiological features. Application to clinical exploration and animal experimentation. Husbandry, behaviour, feedingothers needs and welfare (8 hours).
PRACTICAL SESSIONS
Lb1: Dissection of the laboratory rodents and lagomorphs. Dissection of mustelids and of other small mammals (subject to availability of corpses) (4 hours. It will be taught in the dissection room of the Anatomy department, Hall 3, ground floor).
Lb2: Management techniques of new companion mammals (3 hours. It will be taught in the Embryology Laboratory, Hall 3, 2nd floor).
SEMINARS:
S1: Identification of morphological details typical of the species studied
S2: Submission of essays

Generic competences:
To acquire:
1.- Capacity to learn and adaptation (GVUSC 01).
2.- Capacity to analyze and synthesize (GVUSC 02).
3.- Capacity to put knowledge to practical use (GVUSC 05).
4.- Capacity to work autonomously and in group (GVUSC 06).
Specific competences of the subject:
- To acquire knowledge on the structure and function of healthy animals (CEDVUSC 02).
Academic competences:
- To realize the need of bringing up to date knowledge, abilities and attitudes by means of a permanent process of education (CEAVUSC 08).
Transversal competences:
- Capacity to obtain appropriate, varied and up-to-date information using different resources, such as bibliographic information and internet, and to analyze it from a critical point of view (CTVUSC 02).
- Capacity to prepare and present an organized and understanding text (CTVUSC 03).
• Lectures supported by computer-based resources. Students should attend lectures and can take part in the debates.
• Autonomous practical work, supervised by the professor. Practical work will be carried out in reduced-size groups, using biological material and/or anatomical models as well as the guides/manuals provided and bibliography. The practices will be carried out in the dissection room and classroom of Anatomy and Embryology, pavilion 3, ground floor.
• Seminars in which various tasks will be carried out: talks by invited professionals, video projections, debates and / or exhibition of the volunteer essays.
• Submission of essays. Students must prepare an essay dealing with aspects of small mammals. This essay will be defended in a time of 10 minutes in public session at the end of the semester, during one of the seminars.
• Independent study of the student. Students can make use of recommended bibliography and any other resources compiled during lectures and practical sessions
• Tutorial classes. The aim of these sessions will be to deal with aspects relative to the preparation of the essay and to solve questions about the contents of the subject. Tutoring will be mainly face-to-face.
- Regular attendance to lectures and compulsory attendance to programmed practical activities. The absence of one or more practical sessions and/or seminars involves the loss of the right to to be examined and, therefore, the suspense of the subject, both in the ordinary and in the recovery opportunity.
- Final presential written exam will constitute 70% of the final mark. To pass, a minimum of 50% of correct answers will be required. This exam will be complementary to the continuous evaluation.
- Continuous evaluation will represent 30% of the final mark: 15% will correspond to interactive sessions and the other 15% to essays.
- Repeating students will only have the obligation to repeat the face-to-face exam. The continuous assessment mark obtained in previous courses will be kept unless they expressly express their desire to repeat the practices and the work. In this case, the continuous assessment mark that will be considered will be the one obtained in the 22-23 academic year.
-There is no dispensation for attending lectures or interactive classes.
In case of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies for the realization of the telematic tests, the provisions of the article 16 of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
PRESENTIAL WORK:
- Lectures: 23 hours
- Practical classes: 7 hours
- Seminars: 5 hours
- Tutorial classes: 2,5 hours

Attendance to lectures and practical sessions is necessary to pass the subject. Consultation of the material referred to in the basic and applied bibliography should be considered.
There is no dispensation for attending lectures or interactive classes.
