Fetal pig dissection
Directions:
Today and Thursday you will get a chance to partake in an AP Biology "right of passage" where you will have an opportunity to dissect Sus scrofa (A.K.A.- the domestic pig).
Use the "Dissection of the Fetal Pig Manual"- by Roger Phillips.
With your lab partner complete the Fetal Pig Dissection handout- which will help guide you through the dissection and answer the Questions at the end of each section of the dissection manual.
Need another good resource to guide you through the dissection? Go to the following site or use the attached Power Point.
