"The right lung of a pig has 4 lobes, and the left has 2 or 3 (the number can differ). The reason for the lobe differences is that the heart is positioned further to the left hand side, and the interference of other internal organs prevents the left lung from growing into the thoracic cavity as the right lung does.
I dissected a fetal pig last semester, and still had my lab book laying around, so there you go. :c)

The pig liver is divided into five lobes: the right lateral, right central, left central, left lateral, and a small caudate lobe. The caudate lobe is posterior to the right lateral lobe. http://www.goshen.edu/bio/PigBook/humanpigcomparison.html

Even though humans and pigs are mammals and have similar anatomy, they do differ in the number of lung lobes.HUMAN: 5 lobes total -- 3 lobes for the right lung and 2 lobes on the left (two due to 2/3 of the heart lying on the left side of the thoracic cavity.
PIG: 4 lobes for the right lung and 2 lobes on the left for a total of 6 lobes.
Pig and human anatomy are very much the same. So the fetal pigs are often used for dissection. Both have of lobes of the lung. There are 2 lobes on the right side and 3 on the left. The reason that there are only 2 on the right side is that the heart takes up the space of the 3rd lobe.
the human liver has 4 lobes: the right lobe and left lobe, which may be seen in an anterior view plus the quadrate lobe and caudate lobe, which may be seen on the visceral surface.

the pig has 4 lobes, i i learned that in one of my bio labs.
The mink has a total of 6 lobes. These include: Left lateral, Right lateral, Left medial, Right medial, Caudate, and the Quadrate
A pig has five lobes in its liver. These include right lateral, right central, left central, left lateral, and caudate.

A fetal pig liver has four lobes in their liver. These four lobes are used for blood filtering nutrients and toxins in their bloodstream.
The fetal pig's live is comprised of five lobs. The human liver has just four lobes which are the right, left, caudate, and quadrate.
They Have Four Lobes
The fetal pig liver has five lobes: right lateral, right central, left central, left lateral, and caudate
Both have 3 .
A pig's liver has five lobes. The function of the lobes in a pig's liver is to prevent food from going into the trachea. To filter toxins out of the blood.
The right lung contains 4 lobes while the left lung contains 3
There are five lobes in a pig liver. They are the right lateral, right central, left lateral, left central and caudate.

There are many characteristics found in a fetal pig. Fetal pigs generally have all of the characteristics of an adult pig.
In a pig, the organ that the umbilical cord leads to is the liver. The liver is large and brown-red in color.
