Because the fetal lungs are inactive, the pulmonary circuit is bypassed. Half of the blood that enters the right atrium flows directly into the left atrium through the foramen ovale. The remainder flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle, then into the pulmonary trunk. The second bypass, the ductus arteriosus, transports the blood directly from the pulmonary artery into the aorta so it can be sent into systemic circulation.
Fetal pig diagrams can be found in most high school or "first" biology/zoologycollege, text books. There are many laboratory instruction manuals available also.
A fetal pig is fed by its mother through an umbilical cord just like a human fetus.
The inner wall of the stomach of the fetal pig is lined with gastric mucosa, which contains gastric pits leading to gastric glands. These gastric glands secrete enzymes and mucus that aid in digestion. The lining also has rugae, which are folds that allow for expansion of the stomach.
The two largest body cavities are the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
The lungs of a fetal pig do not contain air because a developing fetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta, not from breathing air. Therefore, there is no need for the lungs to be inflated with air until birth when the piglet starts breathing independently.
There is a very good reason there is no food found in a fetal pig's stomach. The fetal pig was never born.
Fetal pigs are not as developed as an adult.
The trachea, heart, lungs, bronchial tubes, thyroid gland, and the larynx are found in the cavity of a fetal pig.
Meconium
In fetal pig circulation, blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation through the pulmonary artery and then returns to the heart via the pulmonary vein. Some blood bypasses the lungs through the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale, ensuring that most of the blood circulation bypasses the non-functional lungs. This allows for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients between the mother's and fetal pig's blood through the placenta.
the rostrum is the snout of a fetal pig
The epididymis in a fetal pig is responsible for producing sperm. It is located on one testicle in the fetal pig.
Controls passive from the esophagus into the stomach.
A fetal pig is an unborn pig used in schools for dissection. Therefore, a fetal pig doesn't have a life span, because they never actually lived.
gullbladder
In the fetal pig, the ovaries are located near the kidneys, closer to the dorsal side of the body. They are situated in the abdominal cavity, next to the kidneys and slightly towards the rear end of the pig.
It is bypassed because there is no need for the blood to go to the lungs and get "pick up" if the pig is dead.
