The problem is that the vets are doing surgery on the animals and potentially hurting, and changing the way these animals are. I believe that the vet schools are not acting ethically for using animals for educational programs. Studies suggest the exposing young people to animal dissection as “science” can foster a callousness toward animals and nature. Each animal that’s dissected represents not only a life lost but also a part of a trail of animal abuse and environmental havoc. Therefore the Veterinary colleges should make changes to their policies.

The fetal pig was a great resource to dissect do to it’s similarities to the human body in which we study in anatomy class. In addition, the size of the organs make them easy to find and identify. Another reason we use the fetal pig is because many people do not think of pigs as pets. If people dissected cats, the mental damage done to the human dissecting it may scar them for life. It also may lead them a stray from the medical field. Fetal pigs have no real purpose, they are a product of the pork food industry. They are not intentionally bred for the purpose of dissection. Therefore, fetal pigs are the paramount of dissection. Fetal pigs are ultimately inexpensive.

The purpose of the fetal pig dissection was to understand the scientific process of dissection and gain hands-on experience of the internal and external anatomy of the fetal pig. In addition to this, the fetal pig dissection helps students better interpret the relative position and sizes of organs, as well relation between organ and organ system.

Initially when seeing the fetal pigs, I was completely disgusted and figured I could not even look at them in the sink, let alone look at them when they are dissected. As my group pinned down the fetal pig and tied it’s limbs out of the way, I began to get more comfortable with the fact. As the dissection progressed, through observing the mouth and the thoracic cavity on the first day and the abdominal cavity on the second day, I became less grossed out. Observing the organs was interesting and I felt like it was a useful representation of what human organs are like, since it would not be ethical to use an actual human to dissect. I learned the difficulties that surgeons have to endure when performing a surgery. I can only imagine the high-pressure

To continue, I then began to examine the endocrine system of the fetal pig. I began this dissection by finding the endocrine organs that are located in the area of throat. These organs were the thyroid and thymus. The thyroid’s responsibility is to produce amino acids that will help to regulate metabolism. The shape of the thyroid is oval like, and has a dark brown tint. The second endocrine organ found in the throat is the thymus. The thymus functions to provide immunity against diseases. It has a pink appearance, and is long in length. I was successful in finding three endocrine organs in the abdominal cavity. The first organ found was the adrenal gland. The function of this gland is to produce various hormones. This gland is identifiable

[Today in class we participated in a pig dissection, we worked in groups of two. The objective of this assignment was to recap what we learned about the body's organs. The organs we were instructed to cut out the pig were the large and small intestine, lungs, kidneys, heart, stomach, liver, bladder and reproductive which was the ovaries for my partner and I because we had a female pig. Once we took the organs out the pig we had to place and label the organs on white construction paper. Our instructor informed us to receive extra points we needed to cut out the brain and the both eyeballs.

The Cat Dissection lab consisted of various procedures ranging from skinning the cat to performing the likes of a brain surgeon in cutting it's brain out, but there were three major questions focused on when conducting the entire process. They included muscular differences between humans and cats, teeth and dental structure within the cat's mouth compared to a humans, and the third being the differences between a human's fingernails and the claws of a cat. These three questions provided the goal for the dissection of the feline. The interesting thing about felines such as this specimen Felis Catus is that even though it is a four pawed animal it also retains many of the various features humans have.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to get over my fear of having to look at something being hacked into. I think the truth of the matter is I was feeling sorry for the pigs that died to become the subject for our own amusement. When the time drew nearer for the dissection I asked Mr. Johnson why we were dissecting pigs in the first place. The answer to my question was something I never really thought of. Mr. Johnson told the entire class the reason why we were dissecting fetal pigs was because it is the closest thing to a human being. The feel of pig skin has the almost exact same feel as human skin does and since we couldn’t actually dissect a human he thought that the pigs were the next best thing. After all, this is Biology and some of you might

For this reason the muscular wall of the left side is thicker than that of the right side.
