Course Description
![card header icon]()
Anatomy & Physiology of Animals
This course is designed to prepare students with relevant knowledge and competencies associated with animal and plant science disciplines within agriculture. Students will analyze both the structure and function of living things, both animals and plants through specifically focusing on species used for agricultural production. This course will also provide a study of common diseases of both small and large animals, the causes and means of prevention. Emphasis is placed on mammals that are most important to human culture as we know it. Systems of focus include the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular,integumentary, reproductive, immune and digestive systems. Students will do so through
dissections,labs, simulations, research projects and hands- on experience. Students will be studying environmental changes, nutrition requirements and behavior. Due to the co-curricular nature of FFA (Future Farmers of America) and SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experience)students will be required to participate in both FFA and SAE, both of which are graded components of the course. Tests will be given regularly and students will be expected to participate in assignments, class discussion and other structured activities. Students will complete individual/group projects and long term assignments.
