Fetal Pig Dissection!
• Work in Groups of 3-4
Fetal Pig Dissection – Day 1
Getting Started!
Obtain the following materials:
1 fetal pig per group
1 large dissection pan
2 pieces of string - ~25-30 inches long
2 good scalpels
Scissors
2 BLUNT Probes
Forceps (tweezers)
Initial Prep
• Open up the plastic bag –
– SAVE Outer bag
– Cut open the inside bag over the sink. Empty
pig and contents into sink. THROW AWAY
the INSIDE bag into the GREEN trash
• Rinse off pig well. Towel dry and place in
a dissection tray
External Observations
• Look for the umbilical
cord
External nares
– Try to find the
umbilical arteries/veins
that connected its
blood supply to mom
via the placenta
• External nares
(remember what
those are?)
• Tongue
Tongue
External Observations
Scrotum
• Boy or Girl?
– Look under the tail.
– If all you see it an
anus (hole) then a
SMOOTH swollen
sac of skin – you
have found the
SCROTUM and you
have a boy!
– If you see an anus
(hole) plus an
obvious folded area
of skin. You have
found the GENITAL
PAPILLA and you
have girl!

Securing your
Pig to the tray
• Use the 2 pieces of
string to secure
your pig to the
dissecting tray
Incision Time
1. Take a scalpel –
make a SUPERFICIAL
midsaggital incision
from chin to umbilical
cord
2. Then use scissors to
cut along either side of
the umbilical cord to
create a “flap”
Incision Time
3. & 4. Use scissors
to make 2 lateral
cuts. Avoid the
staples on one
side of the pig
– Also be careful
not to demolish the
DIAPHRAGM at
the base of the rib
cage!
Diaphragm
Diaphragm
• Use scissors to
separate the
diaphragm from the
floor of the rib cage.
• You should be left
with one big “flap”
of Diaphragm that
hangs over the liver
and stomach (see
page 409 of lab
book)

Separate Skin from rib cage &
neck
Using your scapel – separate the skin of the
chest area off of the rib cage. Also skin the
neck area.
– You will have to cut through muscle and
connective tissue to do this
– It’s like skinning raw chicken!
• Using scissors – cut of each half of the rib
cage. You should end up with 2 large chunks
of ribs in your tray
Exposing Larynx and Trachea – pg. 409
• Using a SHARP scalpel – remove all muscle
and tissue overlying the larynx and trachea
Trachea
Larynx
Neck Blood Vessels – pg. 418
• Using a BLUNT PROBE – carefully probe on either
side of the trachea until you expose
– 1 PINK common carotid artery on each side
– 2 BLUE jugular veins on each side
• These are the internal and external jugular veins

Vein
• Using a combination
of scalpel and
scissors:
Heart
– Cut off the
pericardial sac
Superior Vena
that surrounds the Cava
heart
– Be careful not to cut
off any important
blood vessels!
• Also not the texture
and position of the
RIGHT AND LEFT
LUNGS.

• Do NOT cut out the
intestines to dissect
the urinary system!
• Push the intestines
to one side and use
a scalpel or blunt
probe to remove
the connective
tissue around each
kidney and ureter

Ready to clean up?
• Cut off strings – throw away in GREEN trash.
• Throw any PIG TISSUE WASTE in the RED trash
• Rinse pig under water and clean both external and internal
