-The function of the epiglottis in a pig is to prevent food from going into the trachea. Epiglottis is attached to the entrance of the larynx and is made of elastic cartilage. The epiglottis projects up through the soft palate into a region called the nasopharynx…

You may have heard of those tiny pigs that have gained the nickname Teacup Pigs, due to their ability to comfortably fit in your hand, teacup pigs. But, apparently, dogs can also come in the comfortable teacup size, and Kelly Osbourne has scooped up one of her very own.…
Many scientists are experts when it comes to the placement of the organs in the human and animal body. Scientists can point anywhere and name the organ closest to it, but how do the scientists know exactly where each organ is? How do the scientists know the number of organs that are in your body? How do they know all this? Well, scientists know all about the anatomy of humans and animals because of a procedure called dissection. Dissection is when people cut open and analyze the structures and relations inside. In this situation a fetal pig…

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 pigs are also mammals, their structure is very similar to our own. By doing the dissection, we were able to physically see and touch the anatomy of the mammalian body rather seeing it solely in text form. This gives us a better idea of how the structures are intertwined to form the body as a whole.…

In Female Chauvinist Pigs, Ariel Levy brings to the forefront the issues society has been facing for decades; gender inequality, gender ideology, and gender construct. Levy focuses on women’s sexual empowerment, or lack thereof, starting with the passing of the birth control to Roe vs Wade to Hugh Hefner and Playboy.…

Hamsters and guinea pigs are two completely different animals. The most obvious difference is that hamsters are very small; they can fit in the palm of your hand. Guinea pigs are much larger, generally weighs around 3 pounds or so when fully grown. Hamsters are native to Europe and Asia while the guinea pig is native to South America. That's one difference which shows they are not related. Although the two eat approximately the same foods, the guinea pig is much larger and is commonly used as a food animal in the Andes Mountains. The hamster is strictly a pet or laboratory animal. Although they are both rodents and are popular as pets, hamster and guinea pigs have many differences…
The two boys’ difference between the classes does not directly appear in the film, but it still deeply penetrates the film through its characters, especially around the way of using toilet. More specifically, for instance, in the scene where Tenoch uses toilet in Julio’s house, he uses his foot to lift up, which is something he also does at the cheap motel. On the other hand, in the scene where Julio uses toilet in Tenoch’s house, he lights a match to mask the smell after using the restroom. Thus, how Tenoch uses the toilet shows his degrading attitude towards the working class, while how Julio uses the restroom shows his trying to fit in with the upper class. These revelations are simple, but effectively reveals the undeniable division between…
Pigs are a member of the Suidae family, also known as swine. They are not ready for the market until they meet certain standards and then are considered hogs. Pigs have different names depending on their age and gender. A boar is an uncastrated male that is 6 months old or older. Males that are castrated are called hogs. If they are young pigs they are called piglets male or female. There are two terms for female pigs. They are either called a sow or a gilt. A sow is a female who has had her first litter of piglets already but, a gilt is a female that has not yet had a litter.…
Pig Assessment: My pig analysis does not completely match my personality. There are two reasons why the analysis is not completely accurate. The first reason being that the analysis states that I may not have a strong sense of family. That statement is very inaccurate. I come from a very tight-knit family. My family does almost everything together and none of us can go longer than a week without talking to each other. My family is very important to me. The other reason being that the analysis states that I’m prone to being cautious to the point in which I struggle with trust. I consider myself to be quite trusting. I will not deny that I’m very cautious but it does not impair my ability to trust. All of the other characteristics were pretty…
As described in Weiten, Dunn & Hammer, the Characteristics of traditional masculine and feminine body language differ in many areas. Many people may look at the behavior of aggression as a traditional body language as masculine for a male. Man people may look at the traditional body language of a female as being nurturing and loving for the feminine role. It’s very obvious that men and women differ in physical appearance as well as body parts but there are still many differences (Janet Shibley Hyde, 2004). Many Americans in society today have characteristics that partake in life roles of females and males today life males are more active, aggressive, and independent, but women are more creative, emotional, and needs approval.(Best & Thomas, 2004; Williams & Best, 1990).…
