The lower end of female reproductive tract in pigs is not very different from humans. The reproductive system is conserved across all mammals.
The human stomach is bigger than the fetal pig's. This of course is if the human is an adult human.

The uterus of the fetal pig is more elongated and has a bipartite structure, which consists of two distinct uterine horns that extend into the body cavity, accommodating multiple embryos and facilitating a larger litter size. In contrast, the human uterus is more pear-shaped and has a single, thicker wall designed for carrying a single fetus at a time. Both structures serve the primary function of supporting fetal development, but their shapes reflect adaptations to their respective reproductive strategies.
The part of the human soft palate that is lacking in the fetal pig is the uvula. In humans, the uvula is an extension of the soft palate.
Fetal pigs share many anatomical similarities with humans, making them a good model for studying human anatomy. By dissecting a fetal pig, students can observe the structures and organs in a mammalian body that are relevant to human biology, providing a hands-on learning experience that enhances understanding. Additionally, fetal pigs are readily available, cost-effective, and ethical compared to dissecting human cadavers.

OVARY
The relative sizes of the external and internal jugular veins of a fetal pig and a fetal human are relatively the same size. This finding is similar in all mammals.

A fetal chick grows into a chicken, whereas a fetal human grows into a human.
The ossa coxae (containing the ililum, ishium, and pubic bones) are not fused in a fetal skeleton like in an adult human.
The human reproductive system is primarily regulated by hormones, which are produced by the endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and gonads (testes in males, ovaries in females). These hormones control the development of sexual characteristics, maturation of germ cells, and the menstrual cycle in females. The release of these hormones is tightly regulated to maintain proper reproductive function.
The reproductive systems of human males and females have distinct structures and functions, reflecting their different roles in reproduction. Males have structures such as the testes, vas deferens, and penis, while females have ovaries, fallopian tubes, and a uterus. While both systems produce gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) and are involved in hormonal regulation, their anatomical configurations and reproductive processes are fundamentally different. Thus, they are not similar in structure.
