Step One
Lab Five is an introduction to "Mammalian Anatomy ". In this lab, you will dissect a virtual fetal pig. Both pigs and humans are mammals; therefore, you will be studying mammalian anatomy of the pig and relate to the anatomy in humans.
The period of pregnancy, or gestation, in pigs is approximately 17 weeks (compared to an average of 40 weeks in humans). the piglets used for this lab will usually be within 1 to 2 weeks of birth.

Pre-Lab Lecture
Objective
To be able to identify and understand the external anatomy of the fetal pig and human.
To find and identify the regional and directional anatomyof the fetal pig.
To be able to determine the sex of the fetal pig.
Find, identify, and state a function for the organs of the abdominal cavity such as the liver, stomach, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, large intestine and small intestine of the digestive system. Describe where these organs are positioned in relation to one another.
Find, identify, and state a function for the organs of the thoracic cavity. Describe where these organs are positioned in relation to one another in the respiratory system.
