Aug 1, 2013 · Studying Anatomy? Here is a video documenting the dissection of a fetal pig from start to finish.

Sep 16, 2021 · Start at the corners of the jaw and use your scalpel to cut through the skin of the pig. End your cut in the center of its chest and then make another diagonal cut from the other side of its jaw. The incision will be V-shaped when you’re finished. [10]

Successfully complete dissection of the fetal pig. Identify, on your fetal pig, each structure from the labeled photographs. Several different pig dissections were used to obtain the photographs below. As a result, a structure shown in one photograph may look different than the same structure shown in another photograph.

In this video you will learn how to perform a dissection on Carolina Biological Supply Company's fetal pig specimen. This video will walk you through the entire process from preparation to removing the organ block for observing the internal pig organs.

Jul 11, 2023 · Determine the Sex of Your Pig: 1. Before you start dissecting, examine the outside of the pig and determine its sex. Look for these features: Males: The urogenital opening is located near the umbilicus; the penis is hidden inside. The scrotal sac may be visible as a swelling just ventral to the anus, depending on the age of the fetus.

Place the pig on its back (dorsal surface) and observe the umbilical cord. Locate the paired rows of nipples along the ventral surface of the pig. Both males and females have these nipples. Mammals with the sex genotypes of XX and XY all start off with female traits until the Y chromosome becomes activated. This is why males have nipples. 4.

Jul 4, 2011 · Identify major structures associated with a fetal pig's digestive, respiratory, circulatory, urogenital, & nervous systems. Compare the functions of certain organs in a fetal mammal with those of an adult mammal.

Dec 1, 2015 · In this lab exercise you will open the abdominal-pelvic and thoracic cavities of a fetal pig and identify its major organs. Remember you are dissecting not butchering. The goal is for you to identify all of the structures described herein via a careful and thorough dissection. Do not remove any organs.

Humans and Pigs may be closer than you think! Both are mammals We share common body systems The anatomy of the pig is close to that of humans The fetal pigs will tell us more about our own bodies and give us a way to explore! SAFETY FIRST! Descriptive words are used to describe “where” on an animal.

Objective: In this exercise you will examine the organization of the many body systems studied this semester in the context of a single specimen, the fetal pig. Be sure to identify the major organs as you explore the extent of each system. Examine the fetal pig and locate the external features shown above.
