Fetal Pig Dissection Overview

How do you determine the age of the fetal pig?

• By it's weight

• By it's coloring

• By it's length

When measuring body length of the fetal pig, you will measure along the back following the natural curvature of the spine, from the _________ to the _________.

• Tip of the snout; umbilical cord

• Tip of the snout; base of the tail

• Ears; umbilical cord

• Ears; base of the tail

A fetal pigs approximate age is determined in _________.

• Years

• Months

• Days

Define the "anterior" direction/position.

• Toward the tail

• Toward the head

• Toward the backbone

• Toward the belly

Define the "posterior" direction/position.

• Toward the tail

• Toward the backbone

• Toward the side

• Toward the head

Define the "dorsal" direction/position.

• Toward the belly

• Toward the midline

• Toward the side

• Toward the backbone

Define the "ventral" direction/position.

• Toward the midline

• Toward the backbone

• Toward the belly

• Toward the tail

Define the "lateral" direction/position.

• Toward the side

• Toward the belly

• Toward the head

• Toward the midline

Define the "medial" direction/position.

• Toward the side

• Toward the head

• Toward the belly

• Toward the midline

Define the "proximal" direction/position.

• Lying near the point of reference

• Lying further from the point of reference

• Toward the midline

• Toward the backbone
