Learning Objectives
At the completion of this laboratory, the student will
be able to:
1.Identify and describe the layers/tunics and
histological characteristics of arteries and veins.
2.Identify the arteries above the diaphragm in a
human model or photograph of a human.
3.Identify the arteries above the diaphragm on a
dissected fetal pig or photograph of a fetal pig.
4.Be able to trace the path of a drop of blood through
the arteries above the diaphragm.

named something
different depending
on the anatomical
landmark it’s near.
You should know all the vessels and structures on this slide

Fetal Pig Blood Vessel Dissection Schedule
• Blood vessel labs : Dissection of blood vessels
& Lymphatic ducts of the fetal pig (Dissection
Exercise 4, pp. 719-728 in Marieb)
15
Objectives for Today’s Fetal Pig Dissection
• Begin dissecting the preserved Fetal pig to
identify arteries above the diaphragm and in the
upper limb.
16
Precautions for Fetal Pig Dissection
• You must wear gloves and goggles for this lab!
• ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK
• Be EXTREMELY careful when using the scalpels
– Keep your index finger on the top of the blade
– Be careful not to inadvertently cut structures
• Use a blunt probe, or your gloved fingers to dissect
away tissue. Use the scalpel ONLY for initial
cutting. Proceed S-L-O-W-L-Y.
• Discard scraps/liquid into the appropriate container
• Gloves, paper towels -> regular trash
17
Getting started with Fetal Pig Dissection…
• Work in groups of two (We have enough pigs)
• Get some paper towels and keep them at your lab
table
• Get your instruments and dissecting tray ready
• Get a fetal pig and cut the string/twine to open the
bag
• Let the Fetal pig out of the bag!
• discard the fluid left in bag in a special container
I will show you; you’ll be using this pig all
semester.
18
Getting started with Fetal Pig Dissection…
– The thoracic and abdominal cavities may be already
open (Makes your work easier!)/ if not open you
will have to open them.
– Try to identify the major organs you see before you
begin dissecting any further
19
Getting started with Fetal Pig Dissection…
• Once the initial cuts have been made according to
the instructions in your Lab Manual(pp. 720) and
the ventral body cavity is open, you are ready to
continue with artery identification (See next two
slides)

Things you should do in lab today
Follow Laboratory guide instructions for laboratory 3 to:
•Examine the artery/vein slide under the microscope
– Name/identify the layers of the artery & vein
– Describe how each layer (tunic) is constructed
– Refer to Marieb’s Lab Manual Figures 32.1& 32.2
•Review and identify human arteries listed for Laboratory 3 (above
diaphragm and upper limb)
•Perform fetal pig dissection for arteries listed for Laboratory 3
(above diaphragm and upper limb). See Marieb’s Lab manual pp.
721-724 for instructions and reference.
•Complete Laboratory 3 Assignment and Identify all arteries listed
for Laboratory 3 (See lab guide )
•Answer any questions in the laboratory guide and in the lab manual
complete Lab review sheets for Exercises 32 (Arteries covered
today)
•** Make sure you complete working through the above items
before next lab. (Do not fall behind!)

To be handed in next week…
• Laboratory 3 Assignment
– Exercise 2 - trace the path of a drop of blood from just after
it leaves the heart until it reaches left side of the brain.
