Assessment Methods

Verification of learning:

The frequency signature is an essential prerequisite.
The examination of the Anatomia Patologica 2 module provides for the assessment of the skills acquired through a oral examination.
The examination of the autopsy technique module consists entirely of a practical test (the examination date is the same as the pathological anatomy module II). The examination will take place on the pet animal carcass or animal farm. At the end of the autopsy the student will have to fill in a report with the description of the observed lesions, formulate a morphological diagnosis, and eventually identify with the teacher the cause of death of the animal.

Teaching period

First semester

Objectives

During the integrated course of Pathological Anatomy II The knowledge of the Veterinary Pathological Anatomy and the descriptive abilities of the main pathological processes useful to formulate an anatomical-pathological diagnostic suspicion supported by an adequate theoretical characterization are transmitted to the student. The student also acquires an adequate knowledge of necroscopic techniques.
The aim of the course are:
• learning knowledge and developing understanding skills and developing and / or applying original ideas in the context of Gross pathology
• to integrate pathology knowledge and manage its complexity
• to communicate in a clear way to specialists and non-specialists;
• to acquire autonomy in the field of gross pathology diagnostic approach

Contents

Gross and histolpathology of the male and female genital tract, of the urinary tract , of the endocrine system, of the nervous system, of the mammary apparatus, of the muscular apparatus, of the skeletal system. General biosafety rules. Necroscopic room and instrumentation. Corpse management. Definition of necroscopy. Cadaveric phenomena and tanatology. Interpretation of gross lesions.

Teaching Methods

The module Anatomia Patologica 2 takes place in lectures (also carried out with audiovisual media) and in hours of practice at workshops, mainly carried out in the microscopes room with the discussion of macroscopic and histological cases. For practical activities, students will be divided into groups with different schedules available on the website of the Department. The Necropsy Technique course provides theoretical and practical lessons divided into groups in the necroscopic room and can be consulted at the Department's website
