This veterinary assistant diploma course covers various topics related to animal health and disease, including cell biology, tissue classification and the structure and functions of bones and skeletons. We examine common animal diseases, disease quantification concepts and the application of prevalence and incidence values. We also outline animals' cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, unitary and reproductive systems. Learning about animal anatomy and zoology will help you to perform your tasks as a veterinary assistant so we study the connections between their systems and organs to show you how they work together.
Nutrients are essential for animal growth, development and maintenance. We discuss the various types of nutrients and the amounts needed to maintain the optimal health of animals. We explain how to balance animals’ cell metabolism to provide adequate energy as diet plays a key role in maintaining their health and wellbeing.
