Fetal dissection discussion
The fetal pig dissection was very informative and it did help a lot to get the idea of how all the organs look like and are connected to each other. After taking out each organ and dissecting them specially the heart, even though it was small , showed the blood route and the vessels that carry it. The thing that surprised me was how the organs were developed and already in function in such an early stage. The pig was only 30 days old and a female. It was a valuable learning experiencebut looking at how fetal pigs were being used, made me feel sick and grossed out. And this feeling was worse becasue fetal pigs are the closest to human fetal.The organs were connected as they were lined up properly and the vessels that connected them to help move blood, nutrients and otehr vital fluids in the body.
