高度な豚の解剖

In this two-day class, students will perform an advanced dissection of a fetal pig. Dissection is a tool used in life sciences and biology to help students understand different species anatomy, as well as their own anatomy and physiology. This class is advanced. You must have either taken intermediate dissection classes of mine or message me with your prior dissection experience. This is NOT a class for a novice.

In all the dissection classes I offer, the fetal pig dissection will give students a closer glimpse to organ systems similar to their own. We will be able to follow major arteries and veins in this specimen as well as complete organ systems (digestive, endocrine, reproductive). At the beginning of class, we observe the external anatomy of the preserved pig before beginning the dissection. Students will be able to estimate the fetal age compared to their size.  As the dissection begins, students can expect to observe the spinal cord, stomach, intestines, heart, bladder, liver, and kidneys. We will continue to discuss the terms dorsal, ventral, anterior, and posterior in terms of each specimen. 

Students will need to have their own dissection kit, fetal pig specimen, and safety wear. I recommend gloves and glasses/goggles for this specimen as it is the largest we have done in our dissection series so far. Please also have a clean place to work and plenty of paper towels, wash cloths, or tissues nearby for clean up. This dissection will take two-days and the specimen will need to be REFRIGERATED in between classes. Wrap specimen in a large plastic bag or plastic wrap to preserve between Day 1 and 2.
