 The urinary bladder is where the kidneys
store urine until it is excreted from the
body. this is easily found when looking
near the umbillical cord area, it is attached
to the top of the abdominal wall (which
you should have cut open) it is a large
sac-like organ.
 Larynx. The larynx (or voice box) is a
large hollow structure located at the
anterior end of the trachea. Passage of air
over vibrating cords of elastic tissue within
thelarynx produces sound and
vocalizations.
 The trachea is a large diameter tube
located in the throat and thoracic cavity. It
has cartilaginous rings in its walls that
keep the airway open.
The trachea carries air directly into the
lungs. ... The esophagus is shown to the
left of the trachea (it has been moved
from its normal position dorsal to
the trachea).
 Thymus. The thymus gland lies along
both sides of the trachea from the larynx
towards the heart. The thymus gland is
the site of T lymphocyte (white blood cell)
maturation, and thus plays an important
role in immunity. The thymus consists of
a right and left lobe which are joined by
connective tissue.
 left lung consists of the bilobed middle
and caudal lobes. The right and left
pulmonary arteries run along the
dorsolateral side of the right
and left bronchi, respectively.the
right lung consists of the cranial, middle,
caudal and accessory lobes. Pig
lungs have multiple lobes, or
subdivisions, on either side. Unlike
humans who have three lobes on one side
and two on the other, the right lung of a
pig has four lobes and the left lung is
divided into three. ... From there, the air
moves through the larynx to the trachea
and finally on to the lungs.
 The left atrium collects blood returning
from both lungs. It is also thin walled and
small when compared to a ventricle. After
filling, the atrium contracts forcing blood
through the open left AV valve and into
the left ventricle.
 The right atrium is one of the receiving
chambers of the heart. It is thin walled,
small in comparison to a ventricle and
resembles the shape of an ear. Blood
flows into theright atrium from the vena
cava. ... The pulmonary artery carries
blood deficient in oxygen and rich in
carbon dioxide to the lungs.
 The liver has the
same function inpigs as it does in all
mammals, including the secretion of a
digestive fluid called bile, the destruction
of old red blood cells and the storage of
substances such as vitamins and
glycogen.
 Gallbladder is a small, green, tear-
shaped organ embedded inside the Right
Lateral Lobe of the liver. ...
The gallbladder stores bile, which can be
released into the small intestine to help
emulsify fats to allow for digestion.
 The small intestine of a near-term fetal
pig can be as long as 350 cm (~ 12 feet
long) when separated from the mesentery
(which holds and their blood vessels in a
mass). Within the various sections of the
small intestine, digestion of food and
absorption of nutrients occurs.
 branches into the coronary
arteries which supply oxygen-rich blood
to the myocardium of the heart. function:
to carry oxygenated blood from the aorta
to smallarteries in the chest and
abdomen.
 The heart is located in the thoracic cavity
nestled between the lungs on the body's
midline. Pigs like other mammals have a
four-chamberedheart. The right side of
the heart pumps blood to the lungs
(pulmonary circulation), and the left side

is classified as monogastric or
nonruminant. Humans also have this type
of digestive system.
 The caecum has a second portion where
it connects to the colon, where digesta is
passed to the rectum and anus where the
remaining digesta is excreted. The main
function of the large intestine is the
absorption of water.
 Kidneys. The kidneys are large, bean-
shaped organs that lie against the dorsal
wall of the abdominal cavity underneath
the organs of the digestive tract.
The function of the kidneys is to filter
waste from the blood and to regulate the
blood's salt and water levels.
 Ureters. The ureters are tubes of smooth
muscle that pump urine from the kidneys
to the urinary bladder for storage. It can
be easily found near the bladder of
the pig.
 The reproductive system in female pigs is
located dorsal to the intestines in the
pelvic cavity. Ovaries are the site of
