Respiratory System
This page can direct you to the organs and landmarks of the respiratory system.
Looking at the respiratory and circulatory system requires you to cut open the thoracic cavity of the pig. This is best accomplished with the scissors. There are several ways to open the thoracic cavity, but the most effective way is to first cut horizontally, starting in an area anterior to the neck muscles. Make your cut all the way across the body (but just on one "side" or one half of the pig). Then, cut straight down from the middle of the pig. This will allow for you to push apart the walls of the abdominal cavity, exposing the mediastinum and the organs within.
