Fetal Pig Dissection

b. Smells like death and sadness. Feels rubbery and wrinkly, and it looks like Babe, Pig in the City.
2. External Picture - tummy view.
It is male because it lacks the small projection below the tail that would indicate it as female.

Discussion :
1. The fetal pig dissection was interesting, to say the least. I thought the pig would be a lot larger than it was, and that surprised me a little. I didn't except it to be so small/young, or that it would even still have the umbilical cord still attached. It was a very interesting to see that the internal anatomy was easier to understand, as it was more similar to human anatomy, and therefore a valuable learning experience. With systems placed so easily, it was very simple to see how the system were interconnected.
