I just did this dissection on Friday. They're more smooth and firm. I'm 99% sure that this is because a fetus' lungs wouldn't have to expand and contract yet so it wouldn't take on that flexible, spongy texture. That's the answer I'm putting on my lab report anyway!
The size of a fetal pig's lungs is fairly small and are smooth and spongy in texture. In its fetal stage, the lungs do not function to oxygenate but to grow and develop through highly oxygenated blood from the mother.
Type your answer here... the fetal pigs trachea feels smoothly bumpy because the connective tissue that forms around the trachea but when that gets cut along the dissection then the trachea would feel rough, rigged and bumpy.
The texture of the lungs is light, spongy, and porous. Its spongy texture allows for the expansion of the lungs during inhaling.
The trachea is a tube connecting the larynx and bronchi, with some cartilages holding it.
looks like slightly raised rings wrapped around a tube.
The esophagus of a pig is slightly smooth and also hard. It is a muscle that is used to contract food downwards towards the stomach.
The texture of the lungs in a fetal pig are of a solid nature. This is because the lungs have not been inflated.
The appearance of the lung tissue in a fetal pig is smooth and solid. This is because the pig has never used its lungs to breathe.

Usually, yes. But the teats on a bore are for no purpose.
The trachea.
The walls of trachea contain c-shaped rings or cartilagenous rings.These soft bones provide rigidity to the trachea , that is why the walls of trachea doesn't collapse when there is less air.
The uterus keeps the trachea from collapsing in a fetal pig.

The shape of a fetal pigs kidney is oval. -knowing this from just doing fetal pig exam
Fetal pigs is the name of pigs that haven't been born yet. They were taken from their mother as fetuses -- thus, fetal pigs. Baby pigs that have been born are called piglets.
Trachea
please wait...
The epiglottis in a fetal pig is located at the back of the mouth. It is a cone-shaped structure with an elasticated texture.

Artilodactyla
The external auditory aperture is present in fetal pigs. This organ is the eventual opening for the auditory lobes in adult pigs.
