Pig and Human Anatomy In today’s standard anatomy classes- among other science classes- pigs are the most commonly dissected mammal because they have the most similar anatomy to a human. They have the same organs and many of the same muscles pertaining to similar human functions. When dissecting pigs it is important to remember the basic directional points. For example‚ median means to the middle‚ lateral means to the sides‚ dorsal is the belly-side‚ etc. It is also important to have lab safety

May 8‚ 2013 Risks and Rewards of Prenatal Surgery for Spina Bifida New advances in surgery are allowing prenatal repair (in utero).

Anatomy and physiology of the brain and spinal cord The brain is a spongy organ made up of nerve and supportive tissues. It is located in the head and is protected by a bony covering called the skull. The base‚ or lower part‚ of the brain is connected to the spinal cord. Together‚ the brain and spinal cord are known as the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord contains nerves that send information to and from the brain. The CNS works with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS

bones‚ whereas the average adult has only 206 bones (this can change depending on each individual). The difference comes from the small bones that fuse together during the growth period; an example of this would be the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column. The sacrum consists of five bones which are separate during the early stage of a child’s development‚ but these will fuse together into a solid structure in the later years. An infant will be born with zones of cartilage‚ these are called epiphyseal
