The shape and arrangement of the pig's organs are very similar to that of humans.
What advantages is are there in dissecting a fetal pig rather than other mammals?
The fetal pig is dissected in most classrooms today because of an accidental abortion. Meaningless to say, these pigs were not necessarily 'killed' but rather, died as the mother was pregnant. The pig's internals are very much similar to the human, so, we can say that you're looking into a small version of a 'human being' and not a fetal pig.
What advantage is there to dissecting a fetal pig rather than other animals?
It is similar to the human body.
Why Dissecting the fetal pig is not valuable?
Dissecting a fetal pig may be valuable in terms of knowledge gained, but it is not necessary. There are computer programs which completely simulate the process, but do not involve dead animals. These are preferable to actual dissection, if possible.
How will you fasten the fetal pig in the dissecting tray?
stick in pins in between the hoofs tendons.

What is the rationale for dissecting a pig?
A fetal pig has the same internal anatomy of a human fetus.
How will you fasten the fetal pig in the dissecting tray?

What difficulties would arose during the dissecting of a fetal pig?
Recognizing the different organs is a difficulty that may arise during the dissecting of a fetal pig. Another difficulty would be the smell and actually cutting an animal may cause you to be ill.
In a fetal pig what is the main function of the cranium?
The cranium of a pig serves to protect the brain from damage. However, in a fetal pig it has no purpose since a fetal pig is an unborn pig used for dissecting purposes.
How will you fasten the fetal pig on a dissecting tray?
Tie string around its hooves and tie it around the tray.
What characteristics of mammals do fetal pigs possess?
It is cardiovascular.
Where in a mother does a fetal pig form?
As in most mammals, the fetal pig will form within the placenta in the uterus of the mother.
List several characteristics of mammals that were observed in the fetal pig?
One of the characteristics of mammals that can be observed in a fetal pig include having hair. They are warm-blooded and need oxygen to live.
