The fetal pig develops in the uterine horns of the mother. These "horns" allows the development of multiple fetuses at one time and the birth of a litter.
A fetal pig is fed by its mother through an umbilical cord just like a human fetus.
The lungs of a fetal pig do not contain air because a developing fetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta, not from breathing air. Therefore, there is no need for the lungs to be inflated with air until birth when the piglet starts breathing independently.
Umbilical cord - The flexible cordlike structure connecting a fetus at the navel with the placenta and containing two umbilical arteries and one vein that transport nourishment to the fetus and remove its wastes.
The placenta. Deoxygenated blood flows to the placenta where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. Oxygen rich blood returns to the fetus. Blood is carried to and from the fetus by the umbilical cord.
The external intercostal muscles raise the ribs during inhalation, while the internal intercostal muscles lower the ribs during exhalation in a fetal pig.
uterine horns
As in most mammals, the fetal pig will form within the placenta in the uterus of the mother.
No the fetal pig and the mother pig's blood never mix. This is the same with humans and many other placental mammals such as horses and cows.
The epiglottis in a fetal pig is located at the back of the mouth. It is a cone-shaped structure with an elasticated texture.

The small intestine.
The round ligament is a structure present in the urogenital system of fetal pigs. The structure is a round cartilaginous barrier.
cause it just is different!(:
Before a piglet is born it is called a fetus like human unborn babies are. So, to be called a "fetal pig" means that it is unborn. The habitat of an unborn pig is the mother pig's womb.
During development, a fetal pig receives nutrients through the umbilical cord from the mother's bloodstream. This ensures that the fetal pig receives all the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
The Sartorius muscle of the fetal pig is located close to the adductor Magnus. It is a small structure that is shaped like a bulb. It has no known function.
The cranium in a fetal pig, just like in humans, serves to protect the brain. It also provides structure and support for the head, and allows for the attachment of muscles and ligaments necessary for head movement.
