Abstract :

Today, veterinarians in the veterinary practice are increasingly faced with exotic species such as reptiles. As patients usually come turtles, snakes and lizards. Their morphology is the foundation for any further study, and in the curricula of veterinary faculties was not always included. In the department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb students learning anatomy of birds and there is also an elective course "Morphology of reptiles" where students can get basic knowledge of the morphology of reptiles. As a basis of knowledge for teaching scientific researches are very important in the field of morphology of reptiles and birds. Knowledge of the anatomy of domestic mammals and birds is important in the understanding of morphology of exotic species like reptiles and birds and their differences in the morphology.
