CMED 713 - Biology and Pathophysiology of Laboratory Animals II

Cr Hrs: 2 (32-0)

Continuation of CMED 712. Emphasis will be placed on the following species: dogs, cats, sheep, goats, pigs and a variety of nonhuman primates. Rarely used research species, such as amphibians, reptiles, fish, avian species, and certain invertebrates will be covered to a lesser degree. Subjects to be covered include the taxonomy, applied anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, genetics, immunology, nutrition, behavior, husbandry, use as an animal model, and in-depth pathophysiology of significant diseases of each species. Emphasis will be placed on features that make a particular species uniquely suitable for certain types of research.
