Course Description

This laboratory setting allows students to examine domestic animal tissues, organs, and systems physically. The AGBS 2200 Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals class is a corequisite for this lab.

Justification

This lab, together with AGBS 2200, is a prerequisite for many upper-division animal science classes. It is also a common major class for pre-vet and animal nutrition students. The lab gives students the opportunity to see real animal parts and investigate their location and function as they study animal anatomy and physiology.

General Education Knowledge Area Outcomes

  1. (B) Students will complete a lab exercise on a selected animal system and discuss the pros and cons of an unhealthy versus a healthy animal system on growth, efficiency of growth, on the economics of raising livestock, using an interdisciplinary approach. Instructor will provide feedback during and after the discussion.  (B) Students will complete a lab exercise on a selected animal system and discuss the pros and cons of an unhealthy versus a healthy animal system on growth, efficiency of growth, on the economics of raising livestock, using an interdisciplinary approach.

Student Learning Outcomes

  1. Students will be able to identify and describe the size, shape, and function of parts of organs, organs, parts of systems, and systems.
  2. Students will be able to use the correct names and terms of animal organs and systems.
  3. Students will be able to explain the complexity of organ physiology as part of the animal systems.

Course Content

In a lab setting, students will examine and handle a variety of organs and parts from several different animals. Body systems from common livestock species will also be explored.
