Anatomy teaches the shape, position and structure of organs and tissues of the body of domestic mammals, small mammals, birds and reptiles. Anatomical knowledge makes it possible to understand structural and functional relationships in the organism. It is therefore essential for diagnostics and therapy and forms the foundation for clinical work.
