Animal Anatomy & Physiology 2

Module Guide 2015 - 2016 Module Tutor: Alex Hawkins

Tutor: Alex Hawkins Ext: 2035 Email: Alex [email protected] Module Title: ANW2037 Anatomy & Physiology 2 Context / rationale: This module continues to provide an underpinning knowledge for other modules within the field. It is designed to provide students with further understanding of the structure and function of mammalian anatomy and physiology, built upon that taught in year one. The structure of specific mammalian body systems is discussed and this is linked to body function and its physiological control. Application can be discussed in terms of behaviour and welfare. Learning Outcomes On successful completion of the module students will be able to: Knowledge and Understanding a)

Identify the features of the endocrine system and investigate the important principles underpinning homeostasis

b)

Discuss the structure and function of the nervous system

c)

Discuss the structure and function of senses in mammals

d)

Describe the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive tract in mammals

Subject-Specific Skills e)

Investigate the connection between physiological systems and communication in mammals

Key Skills f)

Write clearly about complex subjects in a form appropriate to the purpose (Communication)

g)

Synthesise information by bringing together in a coherent way various aspects of an issue and present interpretations clearly and logically (Communication)

h)

Access and select appropriate web-based for specific research purposes (Use of IT) 2

Indicative Content: 

Control systems in animals including the role of chemical messengers and the nervous system. Components of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system and differentiate between the autonomic and somatic nervous systems.



Study of the sense organs and general types of stimuli that can trigger a response from sensory receptors.



Physiology of main communication channels in mammals – sound production and visual communication.



Study of major endocrine glands and the hormones that they produce, including the negative feedback systems that control the production of hormones.



Structure and function of the reproductive tract in a range of mammalian species.

Teaching and Learning Strategy: This module is delivered across 24 weeks and will be delivered through a range of key lectures, practical activities and workshop sessions. Student learning will be encouraged through the use of directed study activities and self-study activities, guided reading, and the practical application of theoretical knowledge. A reading list is included in the module guide to help you and can also be found on the College’s online library catalogue (http://catalogue.moulton.ac.uk/) by typing the module code ANW2037 into the search bar.

Assessment Regulations: You must submit your assignment electronically using Turnitin UK via the Moulton College Moodle site by 23:59 (GMT) on the date specified in your assignment brief. Faxed, emailed or posted work will not be accepted unless specific arrangements have been made with your module tutor before submission. By submitting electronically you confirm that all of the assignment is your own work. Following submission via Turnitin UK, you will be emailed an electronic confirmation from the site to the email address that you have registered with Moodle. If you do not receive this confirmation, this may mean that your submission has not been successful and so you should reattempt your submission or check this with your module tutor within normal College opening hours (8.30am – 5.30pm).

The policy on this course is that work must be submitted by the date specified. If work is handed in up to a week after the specified date you can only achieve a maximum grade of D- for that assignment.

5

If you hand in work later than one week after the specified date a G grade will be given. This is strictly adhered to. If for any reason you have not completed a piece of work by the due date you should hand in what you have done.

If you FAIL any piece of work you will be required to sit a new assignment by the dates specified below.



If the deadline for the assessment is on or before 24th February, then the resit must be handed in by 20th April.



If the deadline for the assessment is after 25th February, then the resit must be handed in by 08th July.

If you require an extension for a piece of work then you can request this from your course manager up to 24 hours in advance of the hand in date. You must apply to your course manager with a valid reason to request an extension and may be required to provide evidence. In accordance with University of Northampton policies, no extensions can be granted due to technical complications, e.g. loss of data, computer failure. In circumstances where particular events are affecting your completion or performance in assignments, then you can apply for mitigating circumstances (see your course manager or the University of Northampton website, www.northampton.ac.uk, for details).

Introduction This assignment forms part of the assessment for the module ANW2037 Anatomy and Physiology 2. You are required to produce a 2500 (+/- 10%) word essay worth 50% of the overall module grade. You must submit your assignment electronically using Turnitin UK via the Moulton College Moodle site by 23:59 (GMT) on 11.03.2016. Faxed, emailed or posted work will not be accepted unless specific arrangements have been made

with

your

before

submission.

By

submitting

electronically you confirm that all of the assignment is your own work. Following submission via Turnitin UK, you will be emailed an electronic confirmation from the site to the email address that you have registered with Moodle. If you do not receive this confirmation, this may mean that your submission has not been successful and so you should re-attempt your submission or check this with your module tutor within normal College opening hours. Scenario An understanding of homeostatic control in relation to the endocrine system of mammalian physiology is fundamental to the care and management of mammals. Without knowledge of the anatomy and physiology which surrounds these regulatory mechanisms, it is difficult to understand how animal systems function. This can impact mammalian behaviours, health and welfare and so is necessary knowledge for management of animals in your care.
