Pig Lab Report

1 Pages 221 Words


Introduction:

Animalia is the kingdom that we are most familiar with and includes organisms such as humans, dogs, whales, and reptiles. In this exercise, you will study the anatomy of a fetal pig. Pigs are very similar to humans, and much of the experimental cloning of human organs is being conducted on pigs. To allow for easy identification, veins of the pigs have been injected with blue dye and the arteries with red dye. We will be comparing the anatomy of the pig to that of humans as illustrated in your textbook.


Safety:
When conducting dissections, laboratory safety is a must. Because scalpels/scissors will be used, please do not wear any type of sandal. This will prevent a cut if any sharp object is dropped. Please use nitrile gloves at all times if you handle the pig. If any cut or injury occurs, please let your lab Instructor know immediately.

Materials:

-Double-injected fetal pigs
-Dissecting pans
-Dissecting scissors
-Dissecting pins
-String
-Nitrile gloves


Procedure:

Procedure found through pg. 308-312 in “Nelson Biology 11”


Conclusion:

The dissection was completed and was completed successfully. Was able to distinguish and identify some of the main parts of the fetal pig such as the: gall bladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, pancreas, heart, and lungs. It intensified our knowledge about the fetal pig’s anatomy and helped us compare the differences between the human’s and pig’s anatomy....
