		Fetal pigs are used in elementary as well as advanced biology classes as objects for dissection.
		Fetal pigs are the by-product of the meat packing industry and their large size makes them a good choice for study.
		Dissected fetal pig, showing the thoracic cavity, including the rib cage, the heart in the pericardium, the lungs, the diaphragm, part of the liver, and all those organs under the neck.
