Fetal Pig Study Sources
This is a list of websites that are very useful when studying the anatomy of the fetal pig
http://www.whitman.edu/biology/vpd/main.html
This will be the most helpful guide to studying the pig. It has actual photos, and very easy to see different parts. The different systems are split into categories. Once in a system section the parts are labeled along with a description of what they do.

This website contains a slideshow of a dissected pig. With real pictures and the following items are labeled; carotid artery, diaphragm, gall bladder, heart, inferior vena cava, jugular vein, kidney, large intestine, larynx, liver, lung, mesentery, rectum, ribcage, roof of mouth, small intestine, spleen, stomach, subclavian artery, subclavian vein, testis, tongue, trachea, umbilical artery, umbilical cord, urinary bladder.
It is difficult to differentiate between parts in these pictures.

This site contains a real photo along with a matching drawing. The following items are labeled; Bulbourethral Glands - Urethra - Urinary Bladder - Umbilical Chord - Umbilical Arteries - Epididymus - Testes - Kidney - Ureter - Renal Atrtery - Renal Vein - Large Intestine - Small Intestine - Gubernaculum - Spleen - Thyroid Gland - Gall Bladder - Liver - Stomach - Esophagus - Lungs - Atrium - Ribs - External Jugular Vein - External Carotid Artery - Axillary Artery - Thymus - Trachea - Internal Carotid Artery - Internal Jugular Vein - Aortic Trunk
This site is helpful because you can pick a part and it highlights the area but only has one photo.

This site separates systems into categories which maybe a helpful tool. The pictures are drawn and not labeled that well. Descriptions are not as thorough as some other sites
http://www.biology.ucok.edu/AnimalBiology/pigweb/Pig.html
Actual photos with clearly labeled parts. This site is nice because it breaks parts down into categories.
