Pig Dissection Ananlysis

        Before we even began dissecting the pig, I thought I was going to be really disgusted and I wouldn't even be able to look at the eleven week old fetus, however once my group started dissecting, all that we found was quite interesting. I made the first cut in the pig, and once we opened him up, lots of the preservative fluid spilled out, so we rinsed the pig and continued to identify major organs and organ systems. 

        Learning about the pig's anatomy and physiology really helped me better understand how our body functions and how everything in our body is connected somehow. The circulatory and respiratory systems intrigued me the most, especially the aorta in the circulatory system. While we were making our pig dissection video, Mr. Orre explained to our group how aneurysms form and why they form, and since I would like to be a veterinarian in the future, it was very intriguing to me.
