I. Fetal Pig Dissection II. Purpose 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

WHAT IS A FETAL PIG ? Fetal pigs are collected from the packing house as a by-product of the meat industry. These pigs are removed from the uterus of pregnant sows‚ taken to our facility where they are preserved. These pigs would otherwise be discarded. REASONS FOR USING FETAL PIGS IN THE CLASSROOM DISSECTION Anatomy of the fetal pig closely resembles that of man. Unlike a frog (an amphibian)‚ the fetal pig is a mammal. Economical - fetal pigs can cost less than using the

Mullins 7/15/10 142L Formal Lab Report one “Dissection of the Urinary and Reproductive Systems of the Fetal Pig” Introduction The Fetal Pig is left over from last semester’s A&P Lab I and is being recycled for the second A&P lab. During this dissection session my lab partner and I did two dissections. The first one of the Urinary system‚ and the second of the Reproductive system. The fetal pig was in a zip lock bag‚ wrapped with wet paper towels and its own skin. Methods We

PRE-LAB: 1. The value to students of dissecting a mammal‚ especially a pig because most students like to learn hands on giving them an opportunity to dissect a pig gives us a chance to give us a visual and help us understand the systems in a mammal. 2. 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

Dissection of the Respiratory System of the Fetal Pig Inferior to the Larynx Dissection is an art. We must carefully and accurately dissect the pig so we can identify all important parts. We must use caution when carrying and cleaning sharp dissection tools. Dissection must help us to get to figure out specific parts of the organ that we need. In general‚ dissection in biology lab will help us to see of how all the systems get together in an entire organism. We will get to see how

Wednesday 10/17/2012 In lab we received a fetal pig for dissection to be done over five lab sessions. We started off with an over view of the pigs anatomy noticing the snout‚ external nares‚ eye structure‚ pinnae‚ tongue‚ teeth‚ tail‚ three clove hands‚ and feet. We also identitified the sex of our fetal pig‚ and upon observation at the base of the umbilical cord we determined the sex was a male. The first part of our dissection involved reviewing the masseter muscle structure. We use a scalpel

FETAL PIG ESSAY 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

Mammalian and Human Organ System Differentiation During Fetal Pig Dissection Abstract This report represents an in depth biological study of the sus scrofa and its internal organs located in the ventral body cavity. The purpose of this lab is to compare and contrast the functions of organ systems of humans and fetal pigs‚ primarily those contained within the ventral body cavity‚ which includes both thoracic and abdominal cavities. Also‚ to implement new skills such as dissection and the use
