It is bypassed because there is no need for the blood to go to the lungs and get "pick up" if the pig is dead.

How much does fetal pigs lungs weigh?
It depends on the size of the pig! You're supposed to weigh them in class.
Shape and size of fetal pigs liver?
The pigs lungs are located in the chest cavity. They are on both sides of the body and they feel spongy.
Does the diaphram function in fetus pig?
Yes, the diaphragm does function in fetal pigs. It helps facilitate breathing by separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities, allowing the piglet to inflate its lungs as it transitions to breathing air after birth.
Why won't fetal pigs bleed during dissection?
Fetal pigs do not bleed during dissection due to the lack of functional circulation at that stage of development. Fetal pigs receive nutrients and oxygen directly from the mother via the placenta, so they do not rely on their own circulatory system for oxygen transport.
How does the fetal pig heart differ from the adult pig heart?
All fetal mammals do not use their lungs. They have a pulmonary by-pass that permits the fetus to rely on umbilical blood from the mother for oxygen. On being born the by-pass is aborted and the baby is required to use its lungs to breath.
Where does gas exchange occur in fetal pigs?
lungs
Why would the lung of a fetal pig be contained with air?
Fetal pigs that are prepared for dissection may have the lungs inflated to make them easier to identify and dissect. There is also a chance the piglet was born alive when its mother was slaughtered (fetal pigs come from mother pigs slaughtered for ham/pork) and then euthanized.
How much does fetal pigs lungs weigh?
It depends on the size of the pig! You're supposed to weigh them in class.
Why is it important for the fetal heart to have both the ductus arteriosus and the foramen ovale but not good for the adult heart to have these?
The ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale are important for systemic circulation. This is the type of circulation maintained by fetal pigs but the adult heart requires pulmonary and systemic circulation.

Why do they call a baby pig a fetal pig?
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.
How are fetal pigs obtained?
Fetal pigs are typically obtained from companies that specialize in supplying educational specimens for dissection in classroom settings. These companies work with facilities that process pigs for food consumption, and they obtain the fetal pigs as a byproduct of that process. The fetal pigs used for dissection are typically sourced from pigs that have been raised for food production.
