Fetal Pig Dissection || Pearls Before Swine

Did you know fetal pig organs are very similar to human organs? Learn how to dissect a fetal pig in this video, which also covers its external and internal anatomy and physiology. In this simple dissection, you’ll learn various parts of the mammalian anatomy, various parts of your anatomy, and which organ the umbilical cord leads to.

This dissection lab is for anyone who is curious about fetal pig anatomy, wants to cover fetal pig anatomy for a zoology course, missed the fetal pig dissection during biology class, or just wondered, “How does my body work?”. The video will teach you how to dissect a fetal pig step by step, and review the external and internal anatomy of the fetal pig.

In these videos, we’ll cover the following structures:

Teats Large intestine

Urogenital opening Anus
