Fetal Pig Dissection Lab Report - Due March 8th

Fetal Pig Autopsy Reflection Questions

  1. Why is it necessary for the trachea to have rings of cartilage in its walls?
  2. How do the lungs interact with the circulatory system?  Give specific examples from your autopsy.
  3. Explain what must happen for the lungs to expand, allowing you to inhale.
  4. Why is it necessary to close the opening of a puncture wound in the chest?
  5. What other systems are the heart connected to, both directly and indirectly, and what specific evidence did you find of this in your dissection?
  6. Why do arteries have an interior ring of smooth muscle?
  7. What are the two major veins of the pig’s heart that return deoxygenated blood to the body?  Where does that blood go after the heart?
  8. What were the differences between the adult pig’s heard and the fetal pig’s heart? 
  9. Why is the pulmonary circulation bypassed in the unborn fetal pig, and how is it bypassed?
  10. How would your piglet’s little liver have looked differently had he or she been an alcoholic?  Why would it look that way?  (hint: do a little bit of research)
  11. What is the purpose of the villi and microvilli of the small intestine?
  12. What is the primary function of the large intestine?
  13. What is the purpose of the rugae in the stomach lining, and what glands are found between them?
  14. Where on earth was the male pig’s penis?  What about the girl pig’s vagina?  How is it possible for them to have sex?  Look it up!
  15. Why is it important for the testes in pigs and other mammals to completely descend into the scrotum?  (research is needed here!)
