1. Is the fetal pig's lymphatic drainage pattern basically similar or dissimilar to that of humans? Similar.…
The purpose of such activity is to dissect the fetal pig and observe various organs.…
Tools needed for the dissection of the sheep heart are; 1 scalpel and 3-4 mall probes.…
These were far worse than just scraping off a few samples of tissue. Procedures like lobotomies and the Tuskegee experiments, deep sleep therapy and human radiation experiments are just some of the scandalous and unethical procedures and studies that proved far more dangerous to the members participating. Scientists did not explain what they were doing to their patients and used the people involved as guinea pigs. Exposing them to painful and lethal amounts of radiation and drugs, or infected a large population with diseases to understand how it worked its course, and perhaps how to cure…
The skeletal system is made up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues, that is, they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells, the gelatin the support material for matrix, and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances, we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight or softer like cartilage which can be used as a cushioning material.…

Pigs teeth have to be sharp and pointed so they can chew their food well so it can be transferred to the stomach. The hard palate has to be hard and rippled so their food can be broken down easier, while it’s being chewed it will hit the hard palate and break down easily.The Epiglottis is a flap of skin that makes sure no food gets into the Respiratory tract. The lungs looked like a pair of bird wings, we pumped air into it and saw how it moved. The trachea was a long tube with 3 small hole's in it. The heart was the best part of the dissection because it looked like a series of tube's put together to create it. I was surprised by how the aorta looked.…

Sus scrofa, or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia, we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs, although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common, it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs, perfect surgical procedures on pigs, and even when we used to use pig valves for replacements in human hearts. Thus the pig is a first-rate example of a mammal and the purpose of this lab is to recognize the specific similarities between the pig and ourselves as humans. To accomplish this we will be dissecting and identifying parts in a number of different systems: external features, the skeleton, the muscles, internal organs, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, the urinary system, the reproductive system, and the nervous system.…
My feeling about dissecting a pig is nervous because it is a real pig even though it is fetal. I feel like I will end up cutting the pig in the wrong spot. I am also excited to dissect the pig because I have never experienced this before and think it will be a great learning experience for me.…
Dissecting heathy animals is cruel. The process is painful and harms many animals. Many college training courses don’t require these actions. However those that do are attempting to cut back on animal use. Although sometimes dissection is necessary, many cases it isn’t. many animals die during or following procedures. Animals that don’t die are left in pain for the healing process. These are several reasons these dissections are not ethical.…
He is already aware of it, but to clarify he needs to come prepared to do a sheep kidney dissection and also answer questions based on the excretory system (including, structure, function and health issues). Focus is on the internal structure of the kidney.…
Taking any dissection in the life is full of challenging. However, I am so glad that I have parents who have taught me how to make my dissections and how I should be responsible for that dissection.…
"Bodies…. The Exhibition," at the South Street Seaport featured the preserved remains of 22 humans and many other specimens, including a set of conjoined fetuses, an example of male genitalia and a human brain. I found everything visually appalling, yet at the same time I could not take my eyes off of everything I was taking in. Every single body part looked fake to me. However, that isn't a bad thing. They make things look so amazing. So amazing, in fact, that these body parts simply just don't look natural or even real. People get a much deeper understanding of what's inside their bodies after experiencing this exhibit. They preserve the organs in a way that they look like they were artificially machine made. I was shocked to learn that these organs and body parts were once in a real person's body and actually functioning at one time.…
