VETERINARY ANATOMY

About the Department

Department of Veterinary Anatomy has the mandate to familiarize undergraduate students with the form and structure of various animal species and to enable them to learn the concepts and fundamentals of basic veterinary anatomy and histology which serves as the foundation for the future sciences of surgery, gynecology, and the like. The department is involved in teaching the principles of embryogenesis and organogenesis during the development process. To serve these purposes, the department comprises a well-equipped gross anatomy demonstration hall as well as a dissection hall. The embalming room has the facility for short and long-term storage of dissected specimens and articulated and disarticulated skeletons of cattle, horse, and dog.
