Question
Option 2: Analyze Reactions via Video
Student Worksheet
Background Information:
Body systems in all organisms have one goal: to maintain homeostasis. Each body system has a specialized function that helps the organism perform all necessary cell functions.
Pigs are known to have very similar body systems to humans. In this virtual lab, you will be observing the dissection of a fetal pig. This will give you a look into a pig’s digestive system, excretory system, reproductive system, circulatory system, and respiratory system.
(OPTIONAL: A reading on the fetal pig dissection)
Directions:
You have been provided with a series of videos that show the dissection of a fetal pig. For each video, you will need to click on the link provided to watch. You may watch the video multiple times and take notes to help you.
After watching the video, complete the following tables to demonstrate your understanding of the body system and answer the question comparing the fetal pig’s body system to a human’s body system.
