Introduction The dissection of the fetal pig in the laboratory is important because pigs and humans have the same level of metabolism and have similar organs and systems. Also‚ fetal pigs are a byproduct of the pork food industry so they aren ’t raised for dissection purposes‚ and they are relatively inexpensive. Procedure - as in the text book Purpose: The purpose of such activity is to dissect the fetal pig and observe various organs. Materials: Safety goggles String Dissecting pins Lab

“Dissection of the Urinary and Reproductive Systems of the Fetal Pig” Introduction The Fetal Pig is left over from last semester’s A&P Lab I and is being recycled for the second A&P lab. During this dissection session my lab partner and I did two dissections. The first one of the Urinary system‚ and the second of the Reproductive system. The fetal pig was in a zip lock bag‚ wrapped with wet paper towels and its own skin. Methods We wore gloves‚ and removed the fetal pig from its

Anatomy & Physiology I March 17‚ 2008 Lab Report- Fetal Pig The purpose of dissecting the fetal pig is to experience way the body looks internally. The fetal pig body organs are similar to the organs in a human body as well as the functions. My first step was to start cutting from the neck/cervical down to the midsection of the body. Then I cut the skin off so I can see the different muscles groups‚ such as the pectoralis major across the chest. However‚ I had to be very careful while

Animal Dissection: No Longer Cutting Edge American Politics 115-01 Dr. Griffith Chelsea Morrison April 24‚ 2012 The use of animals in science that results in harm or death has traditionally played an integral role in education. Many thousands of animals have been killed worldwide during attempts to teach practical skills or to demonstrate scientific principles which have‚ in many cases‚ been established for decades. Anatomy and experimental physiology started to be practiced around 300 B.C

Description and behaviour A pig has a snout for a nose‚ small eyes‚ and a small‚ curly tail. It has a thick body and short legs. There are four toes on each foot‚ with the longer‚ middle toes used for walking. Pigs are omnivores‚ which means that they consume both plants and animals. Pigs will scavenge and have been known to eat any kind of food‚ including dead insects‚ worms‚ tree bark‚ rotting carcasses‚ excreta (including their own)‚ garbage‚ and other pigs. In the wild‚ they are foraging

Name: Date: A&P Cat Dissection Lab Report At the conclusion of the cat dissection‚ you will be required to submit a formal report. The format for this will differ from that of the osteoporosis lab report because the dissection is used as an opportunity to review structure and function for the major systems rather than to test a hypothesis and draw a conclusion. Please the following information as a guideline for compiling the lab report. Only one lab report per group is required

DISSECTION PROCEDURES Each class will be divided into dissection groups of 4 students. Your participation in the dissections will be assessed in your final grade at the end of the semester. These guidelines will be followed: 1. Participation: each member is expected to participate in all activities. Defined roles include: i. “Surgeon” – performs major work of dissection‚ identifies structures. ii. “Nurse” – assists the surgeon‚ cleans and ties structures

Renaissance‚ scientists and doctors were only exposed to inaccurate anatomical knowledge from centuries ago due to the lack of human dissections. Galen was one of these anatomists from awhile ago‚ more specifically Rome in the first century. His beliefs were worshipped for 14 centuries‚ up until the Renaissance. Before the Renaissance‚ the church didn’t allow human dissections‚ which affected doctor’s abilities to learn about the human body. Animal bodies were their only source of anatomical knowledge

Introduction The Cat Dissection lab consisted of various procedures ranging from skinning the cat to performing the likes of a brain surgeon in cutting it’s brain out‚ but there were three major questions focused on when conducting the entire process. They included muscular differences between humans and cats‚ teeth and dental structure within the cat’s mouth compared to a humans‚ and the third being the differences between a human’s fingernails and the claws of a cat. These three questions
