Profile

Department of anatomy is one of the oldest departments of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Universitas Gadjah Mada and by far is the oldest department of anatomy in Indonesia. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, was established on September 19, 1949, and was one of the 6 faculties at UGM at the time. Universitas Gadjah Mada is located in Yogyakarta which has 18 faculties. Department of anatomy is very interactive. There are several regular seminars including journal seminars, theses, and other seminars by undergraduate and graduate students. Several other laboratories are also involved in seminar activities and there is collaboration between other departments and across faculties. Practice held to show both anatomy macroscopically and microscopically of the livestock and other vertebrate animals. Embryology learns about the normal arrangement of organ, the factors that influence congenital malformations as a process of developmental anomalies.

Courses

Education

Course name: Osteology, arthrology, myology and splanchnology
Course code: KHU 1011
Credits: 2/1
Semester: 1 / Odd
Classification: Compulsory
Prerequisite:-

Osteology, Arthrology, Myology and Splanchnology courses are mandatory courses that must be taken by semester I students. This course studies Osteology (the study of animal bones/skeletal); Arthrology (the study of joints); Myology (the study of muscles); and Splanchnology (the study of the internal organs of animals).

Undergraduate Level
Course name: Angiology and Neurology
Course code: KHU 1012
Credits: 2/1
Semester: 2 / Even
Classification: Compulsory
Prerequisite: KHU 1011

Angiology and neurology courses study the morphology of the circulatory system (heart, peripheral circulatory system, and lymphatic system) in various domestic animals, more specifically in pets (such as dogs and cats) and economic animals (horses, cows, sheep, goats, and pigs). ; morphology of the central nervous system (including the morphology of the brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nerves (which include cranial nerves, spinal nerves, somatic nerves, autonomic nerves, motor nerves, sensory nerves) including the origin of the nerves and the organs or tissues innervated. This course also studies the structure and morphology of sensory organs (sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch).

Undergraduate Program
Course name: Cytology, Basic Histology, and Embryology
Course code: KHU 1013
Credits: 2/1
Semester: 2 / Even
Classification: Compulsory
Prerequisite: KHU 1011

Cytology, Basic Histology and Embryology courses are courses that consist of three disciplines, namely Cytology, Basic Histology and Embryology. Cytology studies cells and their organelles. Basic Histology studies the histological structure of epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Embryology studies animal embryos including ovum type, fertilization, cell division, blastula, gastrula, tubulation, teratogenic agents, organogenesis, and stem cell applications in the field of embryology. Student, after following this course is expected to fulfill the learning outcomes of Cytology, Basic Histology, and Embryology courses.

Course name: Applied Veterinary Anatomy
Course code: KHU 2014
Credits: 1/1
Semester: 3 / Odd
Classification: Compulsory
Prerequisite: KHU 1012

The Veterinary Applied Anatomy course teaches anatomical approaches to handling clinical cases, both internal and surgical, determining the physical condition of animals by looking at physical abnormalities and animal movements, as well as approaches that can be taken by students and veterinarians in making predictions. location of visceral organs and other body structures by utilizing external anatomical knowledge.

Prerequisite: KHU 1013

The histology of an animal's organ system is the study of the microscopic structure of the cells and tissues that make up the organs. It is a branch that deals with the structure of living things at the cellular level. Animal organs are made up of many different types of cells, each with a specific function. The cells are organized into tissues, which in turn are organized into organs. The study of histology allows us to understand how these different cell types work together to perform the functions of an organ. There are four main types of tissue in animals: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous. Epithelial tissue covers the body and forms the lining of cavities and glands. Connective tissue binds together different parts of the body and supports internal organs. Muscular tissue contracts to produce movement. Nervous tissue conducts electrical impulses and coordinates information between different parts of the body. Each type of tissue is made up of different types of cells. For example, epithelial tissue is made up of epithelial cells, which form a continuous sheet that covers surfaces or lines cavities and glands. Connective tissue is made up of various types of cells, including fibroblasts, which produce collagen fibers; macrophages, which engulf foreign particles; and adipocytes, which store fat droplets.

Research

Research Collaboration

The research collaboration program is aimed at advanced research and building collaboration between departments and anatomical research in Indonesia (individuals or groups). This program is also open to international researchers who are interested in research collaboration with the department. All research topics on animal morphology can be considered.

This collaboration has been established to date:

  • Research in the field of immunohistochemistry in various organs with Obihiro University Japan.
  • Research collaboration in the field of neuroscience with the Primate Animal Study Center of LPPM IPB, University of Washington Seattle USA and Gifu University Japan.
  • Research on Hylobatidae chromosomes with Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University Japan and Bogor Agricultural University, and involves various captivities and zoo institutions such as TM Ragunan, TM Bukit Tinggi, Gembira Loka Zoo, Parapat Sumut Zoo, Medan Zoo, Padang BKSDA, South Kalimantan BKSDA, Central Kalimantan BKSDA, Medan BKSDA, and Japan Monkey Park, Japan Inuyama.
  • Research on internal organs of Tupaia javanica with Yamaguchi University Japan
  • Research on genetic material of wild pigs with Gifu University Japan
  • Collaborate on the skill development and mastery of biological sciences for elementary, for middle and high school teachers with the Yogyakarta Regional Office of the Ministry of National Education.
