The Fetal Pig

• Must-know items/terms

2
What follows is a list of the must-know terms
and structures. Included are photographs of many
of the structures. In the case of those
structures not illustrated, you need to find them
in your actual pig using the dissection guide
available in class. In all cases it is best to
rely mainly on the actual pigs in class and not
just pictures. Please note that on some of the
photos there are some misspellings and alternate
spellings. e.g. mesentery not mesentary
ventricle not ventrical atrium not auricle All
the terms are listed on one page at the end of
the slide show.
