I just did this dissection on Friday. They're more smooth and firm. I'm 99% sure that this is because a fetus' lungs wouldn't have to expand and contract yet so it wouldn't take on that flexible, spongy texture. That's the answer I'm putting on my lab report anyway!
Fetal pigs are typically obtained from companies that specialize in supplying educational specimens for dissection in classroom settings. These companies work with facilities that process pigs for food consumption, and they obtain the fetal pigs as a byproduct of that process. The fetal pigs used for dissection are typically sourced from pigs that have been raised for food production.
Usually, yes. But the teats on a bore are for no purpose.
Formaldehyde, also known as formalin, is the most common preservative used on fetal pigs for dissection purposes. It helps to prevent decomposition and preserve the tissues for educational use. Proper handling and disposal procedures should be followed when working with formaldehyde-preserved specimens.
That tube is the trachea.
It's a birth defect in which there is an abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea. There may be an extra connection between the esophagus and the trachea or the esophagus may be a blind tube.
The uterus keeps the trachea from collapsing in a fetal pig.

The pigs lungs are located in the chest cavity. They are on both sides of the body and they feel spongy.
The shape of a fetal pigs kidney is oval. -knowing this from just doing fetal pig exam
Fetal pigs are found in a structure called a uterine horn. It is the point where the uterus and the uterine tubes meet.
Fetal pigs is the name of pigs that haven't been born yet. They were taken from their mother as fetuses -- thus, fetal pigs. Baby pigs that have been born are called piglets.

Trachea
In the fetal pig, the esophageal opening is located dorsal to the glottis. The esophagus lies to the top of the stomach, in close proximity to the diaphragm.
