About General and Comparative Anatomy
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
This unit sits in the Foundations of Veterinary Science strand of Veterinary medicine. The resources look at anatomy across species: dogs, cats, horses, cattle, rabbits, small mammals, birds and reptiles. Many come from practical classes and dissection sessions, so they suit hands-on study.
Where to start
Begin with the language of the body. The flashcard deck ANATOMICAL PLANES AND DIRECTIONS (ANIMAL NURSING) covers terms such as rostral, dorsal, caudal, proximal and distal. The Introduction to Locomotion and Spinal Anatomy deck adds terms like valgus, varus and luxation.
Then move to a region of the body:
- Head: the Head blood vessels mind map, the Sinuses slide set and the Cranial Nerves quiz.
- Limbs: the GAB - Forelimb anatomy quiz, plus mind maps on the forelimb, hindlimb and thoracic limb nerves.
- Abdomen and pelvis: flashcards on small animal abdominal topography and pelvis and reproduction.
Comparing species
The Comparative Anatomy of Exotics quiz asks about rabbit digestion and the caecum. The Small Mammal Anatomy 1 mind map covers thermoregulation, dentition, digestion and taxonomy. There are also resources on birds, a turtle skeleton, a chicken dissection and a shark heart.
Using quizzes and maps together
- Read a mind map first to see how a system fits together.
- Take a quiz on the same region and note what you got wrong.
- Go back to the map and flashcards for those gaps.
- Retake the quiz a few days later.
Some titles refer to a particular course or exam, so check that a resource matches what you are studying before relying on it. Teachers can also use the quizzes and decks as ready-made material for practical sessions.
Ready to begin?
Choose a body region, open a mind map, and then test yourself with a quiz. Every resource here is free to open.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I start with?
Start with the flashcard deck on anatomical planes and directions for animal nursing. It covers the position and direction terms used throughout the other resources, such as rostral, caudal, proximal and distal. After that, pick a body region, such as the head or forelimb, and try its quiz.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover head blood vessels, muscles of mastication, thoracic limb nerves, the pelvic cavity, the aorta and digestive systems. Others look at rabbits, small mammals, birds and the skeleton of the hamster and gerbil. They work well for seeing how a system fits together before you test yourself.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, you can add a free account.
Which species are included?
The page includes dogs, cats, horses, cattle, rabbits, small mammals such as hamsters and gerbils, birds, reptiles and even a shark. Look for titles such as Equine Comparative Anatomy, Avian anatomy: musculoskeletal system and Turtle Appendicular Skeleton to compare species.
Who made these resources, and are they exam-specific?
The resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. They are mostly at university level, with some for professional candidates. Some titles mention courses or exams, such as VTNE Anatomy and Physiology, so check that a resource matches your own course.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby title first, since many topics are split by species or body region. A forelimb topic, for instance, may appear under thoracic limb or canine forelimb. If it still isn't there, you can create your own quiz, mind map or flashcards.
