Pig Dissection

On April 27 & 28, our grade 12 biology class performed a fetal pig dissection. This dissection was a hands- on opportunity for students to further understand the various systems working in our body; specifically urinary, endocrine, and nervous system. 

 
 
Liver: cleans toxins                                         Gallbladder: behind liver; stores bile

  
               Intestines: digest & absorb food         Stomach: digests & absorbs food;
                                                            inside: bile,amniotic fluid, etc.
  
Spleen: blood cells produced/formed                Kidneys: reabsorb water and nutrients, produce urine,                                    filter toxins

Testicles: produce sperm and testosterone                  Abdominal Cavity   

  
Lungs: bring oxygen into blood and remove carbon dioxide    
Trachea: tube to transfer air                Heart: pumps blood through circulatory system

  
Skull: bone to protect brain

Brain: motor control, emotional response, memory, speech, senses, etc.
  
When the brain is removed                                   Eye 
Eye                                                  Pupil
