- 10.1: Fetal Pig Dissection Lab
- In this lab, you will perform a dissection of a fetal pig. During this lab, you will learn about the anatomy of the pig as an example of a vertebrate mammal, identify structures on the pig and know their functions, and identify structures that are a part of the digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, reproductive system, and excretory system.
- 10.2: Reading: Fetal Pig Dissection
- In this reading, you will find detailed instructions on fetal pig dissection as well as many images which locate and identify different organs found in fetal pigs. The fetal pig that you will dissect has been injected with a colored latex (rubber) compound. The arteries have been filled with red latex and the veins with blue. An incision was made on the side of the neck to enable the injections.
- 10.3: Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems Lab
- After this lab, you will be able to state the parts of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and give the functions of each part, identify the parts of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems on the human torso model and other models, and explain how the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are interrelated.
