Objectives of the Course

The goal of the course is to provide the student with an understanding of the structure and function of the peripheral nervous system and to relate this knowledge to the practice of the veterinary medicine.

Course Content

• Subdivisions of the peripheral nervous system (Somatic, Sensory, Sympathic, Parasympathic) • Anatomy of the peripheral nerves and ganglia • Nerve plexuses • Injection points for peripheral neural blockade • Specific locations of the entrapment neuropathies
