What is The airway from mouth to lungs in a fetal pig?
Trachea
Identify the major organs of the respiratory system in a fetal pig?
The major organs of the respiratory system in a fetal pig include the lungs, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. The lungs are the primary organs responsible for gas exchange, while the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles help to deliver air to and from the lungs.
Pig esophagus different structure from trachea?
The pig esophagus is lined with a stratified squamous epithelium designed for food transport and protection from abrasion, while the trachea is composed of cartilage rings and lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium to facilitate air passage and filtration. The esophagus lacks cartilage support, has a mucus-secreting submucosa, and undergoes peristalsis to move food to the stomach, unlike the trachea.
What happens when you push downward on the trachea of a fetal pig?
Pushing downward on the trachea of a fetal pig can obstruct the airway and make it difficult for the pig to breathe. This can lead to a decrease in oxygen intake and potentially harm the pig. It is important to handle animals, including fetal pigs, with care and respect to avoid causing harm.
What is a rostrum of a fetal pig?
the rostrum is the snout of a fetal pig
What keeps the trachea from collapsing in the fetal pig?
The uterus keeps the trachea from collapsing in a fetal pig.
How long is the esophagus in a fetal pig?
The esophagus of a fetal pig, like many organs and body parts, looks very similar to that of a human. It is a long narrow tube, pinkish in color, with cilia lined in the inside (to help push down the food). Click on the link below for pictures of a fetal pig esophagus:
What is the function of the trachea in the fetal pig?
nothing
What is the function of the rings of the cartilage that surround the trachea in the fetal pig?
to support trachea

What organs are found in the thoracic cavity of a fetal pig?
The trachea, heart, lungs, bronchial tubes, thyroid gland, and the larynx are found in the cavity of a fetal pig.
Where is the cardiac sphincter found in the fetal pig?
Controls passive from the esophagus into the stomach.
What does the thorax of a fetal pig do?
The thoracic duct of a fetal pig is used to transport food into the stomach. This is present before the development of the esophagus.

What is the function of the epiglottis in a fetal pig?
It has the same function as it does in humans - to prevent food from going into the trachea.
Are the rings cartilage in the trachea incomplete dorsally or ventrally?
The cartilaginous rings in a pigs trachea are incomplete. These rings are responsible for supporting the trachea of the pig when it breathes in and out. Without these rings the pig would be in danger of having their throat collapse.
