Fetal Pig Circulatory System

This video tutorial covers the circulatory system of the fetal pig, focusing on major veins and arteries. It begins with an overview of the inferior and superior vena cava, followed by a detailed explanation of the aorta and its pathways. The tutorial then discusses the subclavian and carotid arteries, introduces the brachiocephalic artery, and explains the functions of the celiac and mesenteric arteries. It also covers the renal arteries and their role in blood filtration, and concludes with a description of the iliac arteries and pelvic circulation.
