A good foundation in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology of animals is necessary to understand the mechanisms of animal disease processes and their treatment. Study of mammalian anatomy and physiology prepares students with a background in the structural and functional activities of cells, tissues, organs, and body systems of importance to veterinary medicine. An understanding of drug action is essential for rational drug therapy. The general pharmacology courses provide students with a background in basic pharmacology to include pharmacodynamics, toxicology, and the clinical application of drugs. Special emphasis is placed on chemical agents and therapeutic practices specific to veterinary medicine. Graduate Programs The department offers work for the degrees master of science and doctor of philosophy with majors in veterinary anatomy, physiology or in physiology with pharmacology as a specialization. In veterinary anatomy, both thesis and nonthesis options are available for the master of science degree. Up to 10 credits of dual-listed veterinary anatomy courses may be applied for major graduate credit. Departmental research facilities provide for training in experimental anatomy, pharmacology, and physiology. Graduate studies are supervised by faculty members recognized in their areas of expertise. Current areas of research include: diabetes mellitus, glia-neuron signaling, neurophysiology of pain, neurotoxicology, physiology and pharmacology of nematode ion-channels, Parkinson’s disease, pharmacology of schistosomiasis, physiology and pharmacology of thalamic neurons, physiology of the retina, and study of neural stem cells. The objective of the department is to prepare graduate students for successful careers in biomedical research and professional service. The department is part of interdepartmental programs in neuroscience, toxicology, and molecular, cellular, and developmental biology. The combined Ph.D./DVM program is an option. Foreign language requirements may be established by the student’s program of study committee. Courses open for nonmajor graduate credit: 354, 421.
