Detailed Description
Students examine the normal structure and function of the urinary,
reproductive, endocrine, immune and nervous systems as well as the
organs of special sense and the common integument of domestic
animals. They use a variety of learning tools, including diagrams,
models, live animals, radiographs, dissected specimens and anatomy
websites. Students participate in interactive lectures, labs, small
group work and demonstrations.
Program Context

Veterinary Technician |
Program Coordinator: Amanda Maknyik |
This mandatory course is the
second of two courses that
explore the structure and
function of the body of
animals. This course fits
into the Clinical
Application stream of
learning, and serves as a
foundation for much of the
knowledge and skills
students develop in
subsequent courses. The
students must be aware of
anatomical landmarks in
order to safely handle
patients and to restrain
them for a variety of
clinical procedures. A
thorough knowledge of normal
structure and function is
required to understand
concepts in behaviour,
pharmacology, nutrition,
surgery, radiology, nursing,
dentistry, as well as to
recognize pathology. A
passing grade of 60% (C) is
required to continue in the
program.

Course Critical Performance and Learning Outcomes
|
By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the
ability to identify and describe the function of a variety of systems
including urinary, reproductive, endocrine, immune and nervous as
well as the organs of special sense, and the common integument of
companion animals.
Learning Outcomes
To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated
the ability to:
1. Discuss the structure and function of the urinary system.
2. Compare and contrast the reproductive systems of the dog,
cat, bird and horse.
3. Describe the location and function of the endocrine glands.
4. Describe the location and mechanics of the nervous system.
5. Explain the importance and function of the organs of special
sense.
6. Discuss the components of the immune system and describe
their function.
7. Describe the structure and function of the common integument
and its derivatives.
8. Describe the major components, functions and electrical
conductivity of the cardiovascular system.

TEST AND ASSIGNMENT PROTOCOL
To encourage behaviours that will help students to be successful in
the workplace and to ensure that students receive credit for their
individual work, the following rules apply to every course offered
within the School of Community and Liberal Studies.
1. Students are responsible for staying abreast of test dates and
times, as well as due dates and any special instructions for
submitting assignments and projects as supplied to the class by the
professor.
2. Students must write all tests at the specified times. Missed
tests, in-class activities, assignments and presentations are
awarded a mark of zero. If an extension or make-up opportunity is
approved by the professor as outlined below, the mark of zero may be
revised by subsequent performance. The penalty for late submission
of written assignments is a loss of 10% per day for up to five
business days (excluding weekends and statutory holidays), after
which, a grade of zero is assigned. Business days include any day
that the college is open for business, whether the student has
scheduled classes that day or not.
3. Students, who miss a test or in-class activity or assignment or
fail to submit an assignment on time due to exceptional
circumstances, are required to notify their professor in advance of
the class whenever possible. A make-up test may be supplied for
students who provide an acceptable explanation of their absence
and/or acceptable documentation explaining their absence (e.g., a
medical certificate). All make-up tests are to be written at a time
and place specified by the professor upon the student's return.
Alternately, students may be given an opportunity to earn the
associated marks by having a subsequent test count for the
additional marks. Exceptional circumstances may result in a
modification of due dates for assignments.
4. Unless otherwise specified, assignments and projects must be
submitted at the beginning of class.
5. Students must complete every assignment as an individual
effort unless, the professor specifies otherwise.
6. Since there may be instances of grade appeal or questions
regarding the timely completion of assignments and/or extent of
individual effort, etc., students are strongly advised to keep, and
make available to their professor, if requested, a copy of all
assignments and working notes until the course grade has been
finalized.
7. There will be no resubmission of work unless this has been
previously agreed to or suggested by the professor.
8. Students must submit all assignments in courses with practical
lab and field components in order to pass the course.

Academic Honesty
The principle of academic honesty requires that all work submitted for evaluation and course credit be the original,
unassisted work of the student. Cheating or plagiarism including borrowing, copying, purchasing or collaborating on
work, except for group projects arranged and approved by the faculty member, or otherwise submitting work that is not
the student's own violates this principle and will not be tolerated. Instances of academic dishonesty, including
assisting another student to cheat, will be penalized as detailed in the Student Handbook.
Students who have any questions regarding whether or not specific circumstances involve a breach of academic
honesty are advised to discuss them with the faculty member prior to submitting the assignment in question.
Discrimination and Harassment
Sheridan is committed to provide a learning environment that respects the dignity, self esteem and fair treatment
of every person engaged in the learning process. Behaviour which is inconsistent with this principle will
not be tolerated. Details of Sheridan's policy on Harassment and Discrimination are available in the Student Handbook.
