Fetal Pig Dissection Flashcards
Learn the parts of a pig and do respectably on the midterm (317 cards)
lateral plane of the body
this would be a slice frontward-facing that would go right through both the eyes
auricle
the auricle is the skin of the ear

external acoustic meatus
the external acoustic meatus is a hole in the ear

eyelid
the eyelid is the part above the eye that would allow the pig to blink

nictitating membrane
the nictitating membrane I believe is the tearduct, or near it that’s like the gem in the eye of a pig
helps keep the eye clean.

external nostril
it’s the hole in the rostral plate; exactly what it sounds like it is

wrist
the wrist is the front part of the bending area of the leg

hoof of the 4th toe
the hoof of the fourth toe is nearer to the back of the hoof than the front.

elbow
the elbow looks to me almost like the shoulder on the pig

mammary papilla
basically the nipples on the pig

tongue
the tongue is the huge muscle on the mouth

umbilical cord
it’s the big alien-seeming straight piece of skin that’s almost confusible with some of the genitalia

umbilical arteries
looks like the TWO holes side-by-side if you’re looking downward into the umbilical

umbilical vein
the umbilical vein is the biggest cross-sectional piece within the cut that makes up the umbilical cord.
allantonic stalk
the allantonic stalk looks like the littlest beadlike hole within the cross-section of the umbilical vein

the knee
the knee, not to be confused with the elbow (back), again is almost located near where we’d describe a shoulder but is called the knee

ankle
the ankle is like where the heel would be if this pig were wearing stilettos

genital papillae
little papillae-like bumps near the anus

anus
the anus is where the pig would poop from and is exactly where you’d expect

mental gland
the hairs of the chinny chin chin

hoof of 2nd toe
the hoof of the 2nd toe is like the thumb of the pig

mammary papilla (female)
mammary papilla (male)
nipples present in both sexes
preputial orifice
male only. it’s a little hole underneath the umbilical cord
