6 courses with the subject AVS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
AVS 211Animal Anatomy and Physiology4
This course covers theanatomy and physiology of animals, which is the study of how vertebrate animals (fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals) work. Concepts that span multiple levels of organizations from cells and organ systems to whole organisms and species-level processes will be analyzed. Students will take a comparative approach to develop an understanding of the similarities and differences that exist among different species frequently encountered in animal health and veterinary practices. Credit(s): 4
NA This course focuses on the classification and function of nutrients, deficiency symptoms, digestive processes, characterization of feed, and formulation of diets for vertebrate animals, such as fish, birds, reptiles and mammals (including humans). This information will allow informed decisions to be made when dealing with nutrition and overall physiological health and general welfare of animals. Credit(s): 3
