VentralCranial Caudal
Anterior Posterior
Medial: Closer to the trunk
Lateral: Further from the trunk
Proximal: Closer to a reference point
Distal: Farther from a reference point
For example: The elbow is proximal to the shoulder, while the wrist is more distal to the shoulder.

Think about these comparisons:
Respecting your specimen.
What lab safety rules must we follow in order to protect ourselves, our classmates, and to respect the life of the fetal pig during the dissection lab?
Determining Age of your Pig
Determining the Sex of your Pig
Preparing to Dissect
What are the tools we will use?
Making the Incisions:
Decide on ventral-incision style based upon the gender of your fetal pig
Making the Incisions:
Dissection tip:• Start above the umbilical cord• Always cut pulling upward
Which systems will we explore through dissection?
• Digestive System – Day One• Respiratory System – Day Two• Circulatory System – Day Two• Excretory System – Day Three• Reproductive System – Day Three
Each day, before we begin, we will explore a virtual dissection online: http://www.whitman.edu/biology/vpd/main.html
