Abstract

Coloured plasticine was used for making 3D anatomical and embryo- logical plates with the aim of pre- senting an alternative method in teaching veterinary anatomy.
Many selected anatomical illustra- tions representing muscles of the thoracic and pelvic limb of the horse, head muscles of the horse, ox, sheep and camel, some embryology diagrams including sperm structure, types of ova and cleavage were used in this presentation. Moreover, the skulls of horse, sheep and dog were also used for shaping some of the facial and masticatory muscles. In the introduction, light was shed on the common methods of teaching veterinary anatomy such as comput- er software, plastination, prosection, freeze drying, willed body donation program, the use of haptic simulator and CDs for sonographic, MRI and CT as well as radiographic images. Some of these methods were dis- cussed from both the students and teachers points of view.
