Fetal pig with anatomical reference

This section outlines basic anatomic terms of the pig.

Important: Throughout the site, when we use “left” (e.g., left ventricle), we are referring to the pig’s left. In some cases, we refer to regions of the photo and have attempted to make it clear that this is “left of the photo,” which may be different from the pig’s left.
