Female and male pigs share many similarities externally, but internally they are quite different. Just as the male does not have an external penis, and the scrotum is not well developed until sexual maturity, the entrance to the female’s vagina is hidden beneath the tail. In the female reproductive system the primary reproductive organs of the female is the ovaries. They are small kidney- shaped organs that usually cover the fallopian tubes. Next to the ovary lies the funiculum (funnel shaped) that captures the egg and releases them into the body cavity. Attached to the back wall of the abdomen is the ovary and fallopian tubes. The uterine body is then formed by the fallopian tubes and the uterine horns joined at the midline. Since the

    Many scientists are experts when it comes to the placement of the organs in the human and animal body. Scientists can point anywhere and name the organ closest to it, but how do the scientists know exactly where each organ is? How do the scientists know the number of organs that are in your body? How do they know all this? Well, scientists know all about the anatomy of humans and animals because of a procedure called dissection. Dissection is when people cut open and analyze the structures and relations inside. In this situation a fetal pig…

    Through the dissection of the fetal pig, we were able to compare and contrast the structure and functions of the organs to those of a human. We dissected the pig and observed all the exterior and interior structures. The fetal pig’s structure was almost identical to the human body. Since humans and pigs are both mammals, it can be very useful to study the fetal pig. We dissected the pig so that we should see the skeletal and organ structures that we learned about in class. Because pigs are also mammals, their structure is very similar to our own. By doing the dissection, we were able to physically see and touch the anatomy of the mammalian body rather seeing it solely in text form. This gives us a better idea of how the structures are intertwined to form the body as a whole.…

    The two boys’ difference between the classes does not directly appear in the film, but it still deeply penetrates the film through its characters, especially around the way of using toilet. More specifically, for instance, in the scene where Tenoch uses toilet in Julio’s house, he uses his foot to lift up, which is something he also does at the cheap motel. On the other hand, in the scene where Julio uses toilet in Tenoch’s house, he lights a match to mask the smell after using the restroom. Thus, how Tenoch uses the toilet shows his degrading attitude towards the working class, while how Julio uses the restroom shows his trying to fit in with the upper class. These revelations are simple, but effectively reveals the undeniable division between…

    What Is My Pig Analysis

    • 2 Pages

    Pig Assessment: My pig analysis does not completely match my personality. There are two reasons why the analysis is not completely accurate. The first reason being that the analysis states that I may not have a strong sense of family. That statement is very inaccurate. I come from a very tight-knit family. My family does almost everything together and none of us can go longer than a week without talking to each other. My family is very important to me. The other reason being that the analysis states that I’m prone to being cautious to the point in which I struggle with trust. I consider myself to be quite trusting. I will not deny that I’m very cautious but it does not impair my ability to trust. All of the other characteristics were pretty…
