Fetal Pig Dissection

Locate the following parts:  
        (you should be able to name them on a quiz soon)

pinna, nares, eye, anus, urogenital opening (male & female), vulva, penis, scrotum, mammary papillae, trachea, epiglottis, hard palate, soft pallete, tongue, sensory papillae, nasopharyngeal opening, deltoid, biceps, triceps, pectoralis major, rectus abdominus, gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, quadraceps femoris, 

The Digestive system: mouth (and all of it's individual parts), epiglottis, esophagus (peristalsis), stomach, Small Intestine (ileum, duodenum, jejunum), caecum, Large intestine, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, anus

  The Respiratory System: mouth/nose, epiglottis, trachea, larynx (where speech sounds are produced), lungs, bronchi, bronchioles (bronchus), which connect to tiny sacs called alveoli, diaphragm

The Circulatory System: heart, blood, arteries, veins, capillaries

Parts of the heart: R/L Atrium, R/L Ventricle, pericardium

Path of Blood: Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the heart through the right atrium, goes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, through the semilunar valve and is pumped to the lungs.  There it picks up oxygen and goes to left atrium, through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, through the semilunar valve to the aorta, which branches into the ascending aorta and descending aorta, then continues to branch into the main arteries which supply the arms, head, body, and legs. 

These arteries continue to divide (into arterioles) and subdivide many times, each division reducing the diameter of the arteries, until the body tissues are saturated with tiny arterioles called capillaries.

Capillaries are the site of transfer. Things that are carried in the blood to the tissues are passed through the capillary walls and waste products are transferred into the bloodstream.

The capillaries are join with each other forming small veins (veinules) which joins with each other to form veins, which consolidate to form the superior and inferior vena cava which empties into the right atrium. . .
