of the Internal Organs through the Dissection of a Fetal Pig in Order to Observe and Gain a Keen Insight into the Workings of the Human Organ System For as long as there has been intelligent life there has been medicine‚ from the most rudimentary of herbs to the most advanced of medical techniques‚ the main focus has been the advancement of the species. But understanding how they work has always been the key‚ and the one of the best ways is through dissection. Throughout history the human body

I just finished up on the Pig dissection We had to cut open a pig and identify all of what is inside of the pig. My thoughts on the whole dissection was what is it going to look like and how am I going to react to it. My feelings were high because i wanted to know what the inside of a pig looked like. My fears of doing the dissections was how i was going to handle seeing all of the insides‚ normally i am good with that stuff but i never dissected anything besides a frog. I was hoping to learn how

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

Joselyn Bodnar Heart lab dissection 3/2/15 The Human heart has many complicated processes. Dissecting a sheep’s heart can help to provide an active‚ firsthand learning experience that allows to illustrate what has been previously heard and read. The sheep heart and a human heart share the same function and purpose‚ which is to keep the body alive by continually circulating blood around the body. Like a human heart‚ a sheep’s heart contains two atria and two ventricles. These four chambers

Heart Dissection Sheep have a four-chambered heart‚ as do humans. By studying a sheep heart you can learn about your own heart at the same time. 1. Identify the right and left sides of the heart. Look closely and on one side you will see a diagonal line of blood vessels that divide the heart. The half that includes all of the apex of the heart is the left side. If you feel the heart‚ the left half will feel much firmer and more muscular than the right side. The left side of the heart has to

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

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

Cesar Rivera BIO-186-003 Fetal Pig Extra Credit Dissection Exercise 3 1. How do the locations of the endocrine organs in the fetal pig compare with those in the human? They are similar except for the pancreas and the adrenal glands. In the fetal pig‚ the adrenal glands are medial to each kidney and inferior to the pancreas rather than atop to kidneys and superior to the pancreas as in humans. 2. Name two endocrine organs located in the throat region? Thymus gland and thyroid gland. 3. Name

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 it will
