Female Pig indicated by flap located near the tail of the pig
DISCUSSION: It was a unique experience which I thoroughly enjoyed, it connected all of the big ideas of the course so far and was rich in learning opportunities. I was surprised by how small the pig was, how large the liver was, how delicate the pig was, how weird the stomach was, and how peculiar the brain was. What interested me was uncovering the various vital organs of the pig anatomy (ie locating the lungs, heart, gall bladder, etc.) This was a valuable learning experience because it for the first time visualized , the various body systems we have learned about this year in a central anatomy that we were face to face with (more meaningful than a textbook diagram). The pig showed the interconnectedness of the body systems (the digestive and excretory system, rectum, intestine, anus, the respiratory system and circulatory system, the heart, lungs, etc.)
