How many lobes does the left lung have in a fetal pig?
The left lung of a fetal pig has two lobes: the cranial lobe and the caudal lobe.
How many lobes does each lung of a fetal pig have?
The right lung contains 4 lobes while the left lung contains 3
What maintains the lung inflation during fetal developmnet?
Surfactant
What major differences should you notice between the left and right lung on a fetal pig?
right lung
What does a fetal pig lung looks like?
A fetal pig's lungs are similar to an adult's in the interior. The difference is that it is much smaller.
Compare the number of lobes in the humans lungs with the numbers of lobes in the fetal pigs lungs?
Humans have a total of five lung lobes: three in the right lung and two in the left lung. In contrast, fetal pigs typically have a more simplified lung structure with a total of four lobes—two in each lung. This difference reflects the distinct developmental and functional needs of humans and fetal pigs, particularly in relation to their respiratory systems.
How many lobes the the left lung of the fetal pig have?
Pigs are mammals, and so have four-chambered hearts. Therefore, their left side has two chambers, a atrium and a ventricle, and the right side has the same. **Ignore the above answer as the person who answered apparently did not read the question. Specifically states LOBES OF THE LUNG, nothing to do with chambers of the heart.**
What are the 3 lobes in the right side of a lung in a fetal pig?
The right lung of a fetal pig consists of the cranial, middle, and caudal lobes. The cranial lobe is the largest lobe and is further divided into cranial and caudal parts.
Oxygenation of fetal blood occurs in the?
Oxygenation of fetal blood occurs in the placenta, where the mother's bloodstream and the fetus's bloodstream come into close proximity but do not mix. Oxygen from the mother's blood diffuses into the fetal blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the fetal blood into the mother's blood for elimination.
Why will the segment of lung tissue cut from the fetal pig sink when placed in water?
Healthy lung tissue from an adult pig will float in formalin because there is a (relatively) large volume of air trapped in the alveolar sacs. Fetal pigs haven't taken a breath yet, so there is no air in the alveolar sacs. This is why the lung tissue from a fetal pig will sink in formalin. Incidently, this is also how medical examiners can determine if a child was stillborn or was born alive and then died - check to see if a section of lung from autopsy floats in the formalin.
Does fetal pig lung tissue sink in water?
Yes, the aveloar sacs have not been inflated w/ air as the pig has never taken a breath. Niki C
How many lobes are there in a fetal pig?
A fetal pig typically has five lobes in its lungs: the right lung has four lobes (the cranial, middle, caudal, and accessory lobes), while the left lung has one lobe. This structure is similar to that of adult pigs, which also have a similar arrangement of lung lobes. The lobes assist in efficient gas exchange as the pig develops.
