3. Vet: Anatomy
Gross
Anatomy:
Systemic
Anatomy
It deals with the structures of the body that are visible to the naked eye.
Deals with the different systems in the animal
body are studied one after another
. Study of structure of animal body.
Osteology
Myology
Arthrology
Splanchnology
Asthesiology
Neuroanatomy
Bones. E.g: Skeleton
Muscles. E.g: Skeletal Muscles
Joints. E.g: Shoulder joint
Visceral Organs. E.g: Os-Penis
Central Nervous System. E.g: Neuron
Sense Organ. E.g: Ear, Tongue, eyes.
Comparative
anatomy: It is study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species.

4. Vet: Histology
Cytology:
Histopathology
Study of different types of cells of an animal body.
Study of the diseased tissue
. Study of tissues.
Paleohistology Study of histology fossil animals
Systemic
Histology It is the study of the tissues of the different systems of the
body..
General
Histology It is the study of the different tissues of the body regardless of
species.

5. Vet: Physiology
Biochemistry:
Systemic
Physiology
chemical processes within and related to living organisms.
Deals with the study of functions of different systems in the
animal body are studied one after another
. It is the study of the biological functions of different
system of animal body.
Gastroenterology- Digestive system
Angiology -Circulatory System
Pulmonology: Respiratory systems
Cardiology: Heart
Neurophysiology: CNS
Nephrology: Kidneys
Endocrinology: Endocrine glands

6. Vet:
Microbiology
Bacteriology:
Virology
Bacteria
E.g: Anthrax- Staph: aureus
Viruses and virions
E.g. PPR-Paramyxovirus
. Study of different microorganisms which
cause diseases in animals .
Mycology Fungi

7. Vet:
Parasitology
Protozology:
Helminthology
Protozoa
E.g.: Sura / Nagana- Trypnosoma
brucei
Worms
Haemonchosis- H.contorutus
. Study of different parasites which are found
in or outside the body of an animals and
cause pathology.
Entomology Insects
E.g: Tick-Ixodes

8. Vet: Pathology
General
Pathology Deals with fundamental processes that are common to more than one tissue
or organ
. medical science primarily concerning the
cause, origin and nature of disease
Systemic
Pathology
Clinical
Pathology
Comparative
Pathology
Experimental
Pathology
Study of diseases of animals and comparing them to those occurring in man
Branch of pathology used in the diagnosis of the diseases by laboratory methods
Study of diseases peculiar to certain systems or organs
Study of disease artificially produced in animals
Chemical
Pathology Study of diseases caused by toxic substances
Oncology Study of tumours.

9. Systemic
Pharmacology:
Chemotherapy
Study of those drugs which affect on the particular system of the
body. E.g. PPIs- Digestive system
Study about the drugs/chemical which are used for the treatment of diseases.
Antibiotic - Microorganism Antiviral- Against Virus
Antibacterial – Against Bacteria Antifungal – Against fungi
Anti-parasitic - Against Parasites Anti-cancerous - Against Cancer/ tumor
.
Toxicology
Study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on
living organisms
E.g: Nitrate Poisining
Vet:
Pharmacology
branch of medicine concerned with the uses,
effects, and modes of action of drugs.
General
Pharmacology:
In this we study sources, route of administration, absorption, distribution
biotransformation, excretion of drugs and factors affecting them/

10. Theriogenology
Veterinary
Gynecology:
Veterinary
Obstetrics
Medical practice dealing with the health of the female reproductive
system
study concerned with pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period
of an animals
. Concern with the reproductive systems of
different animals.
Veterinary
Andrology
medical sciences that deals with male health problems of the
reproductive system
Reproductive
Anatomy:
Study about the anatomy of reproductive systems.
Reproductive
Physiology
Study about the biological functions of reproductive systems.

11. Vet: Medicine
General
Medicine
Preventive
Medicine
In this we study clinical examination, diagnosis and general
systemic states
In this we study diseases cause by any pathogen such as bacteria, virus,
fungi, parasites etc
. Branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis,
treatment, prevention and control,
Vet:
Epidemiology
Study (scientific, systematic, and data-driven) of the distribution (frequency, pattern) and
determinants (causes, risk factors) of health-related states and events (not just diseases) in
specified populations (neighborhood, school, city, state, country, global).
Systemic
Medicine
Study about the different diseases in different systems of animal
body.
Ruminant Medicine - Diseases of ruminants
Equine Medicine– Diseases of horse, donkey and mule
Poultry Preventive Medicine – Poultry Disease
Canine and Feline Medicine - Diseases of dog
and cat
Swine Medicine– Diseases of pigs

12. Vet: Surgery
Radiology
Small Animal
Surgery
It is the science in which there is use of imaging technology to diagnose
and treatment disease.
Radiotherapy, X-ray, Ultrasonography, MRI, CT Scan
In this we study different surgical procedure which are used in small
animals (Dog, Cat) .
.
Anesthesiology
It is the sciences which is we study about different types of anesthetics
which are used in animals during surgery.
Large Animal
Surgery
Study about different surgical procedures which are used in large
animals such as Cattle, Buffalo, Sheep, goat, horse etc
