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

"Surgery". This is the seven letter word that fascinates me and grasps my attention with no effort. As I sat in the hospital room with my sick young cousin‚ this was the only word I heard come out of the neurologist’s mouth. My interest in becoming a surgeon began at the young age of seven years old. I was‚ and still am‚ amazed at how profound such an act can be. As a seven year old‚ I was always the clean and well organized girl who was always inside cutting open her stuffed animals and sewing them

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

ROBOTIC SURGERY Robotic surgery‚ computer-assisted surgery‚ and robotically-assisted surgery are terms for technological developments that use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures. Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to overcome the limitations of minimally-invasive surgery and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. In the case of robotically-assisted minimally-invasive surgery‚ instead of directly moving the instruments‚ the surgeon uses one of five
