2. Describe the most commonly applied experimental surgical techniques in the most common laboratory animals
3. Explain and account for the importance of hygiene in connection to surgical procedures
4. Apply aseptic techniques in connection to surgical procedures
5. Apply basic surgical procedures on rats
6. Independently take responsibility to implement and further develop practical skills in the performance of basic experimental surgery
