    Should Pig Valves be used in human surgery?

    When snow white's hunter used a pig heart to fool the evil queen, he was not totally in the wrong. Pig hearts and human hearts and very similar in structure and function. Pig Valves, however, should not be used in patients. Even though the pig valve heart transplant has been around for over 30 years, it's cons outweigh it's pros. The process of preparation eventually add to the downfall of the method. Pig valves are trimmed then fixed in buffered glutaraldehyde at high pressure. A pig heart valve is comprised of three main components: collagen, elastin, and glycosamino¬glycans (GAGs). Collagen fibers provide strength to the overall structure while elastin molecules give the valve elasticity. Finally, GAGs act as a cushion between the collagen and elastin layers. Glutaraldehyde has been shown to sterilize the tissue and prevent inflammation. The problem is, glutaraldehyde causes faster deterioration of pig valves. Again, pig valves should not be used in transplants.…

    1. How does the heart change as it develops in a fetus? At first, the heart is just a tube. It grows so fast that it needs more space, so it bends and twists back, forming the familiar shape. During the next phase, the two atria are partly separate but there is just one big ventricle. The next phase begins when the two atria are completely separate and the ventricles are just beginning to separate. Finally, the ventricles separate completely and the heart is developed.…

    On the first day of the lab I observed the pig's digestive system which includes the liver,small intestines, large intestine, and the pancreas. The liver was the largest organ in the fetal pig's body and was shaped like small bean bag. I was actually surprised when seeing the small intestine because I didn't know it was bigger than the large intestine, it was a series of long brown tubes. The pancreas of a fetal pig is along the bottom of the stomach. The pancreas is a bumpy yellowish brown gland.…
