First time in this course to dissect a whole mammal. It went well though formalin smelt ridiculously strong. Anyway our pig was about 33 cm. It's a fetal pig about to deliver. I did the whole incision all the way from throat to bottom. Basically day 1 is to observe fews gland and organs like liver, stomach, small and big intestine. Small intestine was pretty long after we uncoiled it. The rib cage was hard in order to protect heart which lays almost in the centre of fetal pig. Umbilical cord wasn't that easy to observe. Anyway I will continue working on my fetal pig the next day. Done.
