THE DISSECTION OF PIG EMBRYOS 



Turning to the alimentary tract, observe that the primitive mouth cavity is now 

 divided by the palatine folds into the upper nasal passages and lower oral cavity. In the 

 lateral walls of the nasal passages develop the anlages of the turUnate bones. On the floor 

 of the mouth and pharynx, the tongue and epiglottis become more prominent. The trachea 

 and esophagus elongate and the lungs lie more and more caudad. The dorsal portion ot

 proximal limb of the intestinal loop elongates rapidly, and, beginning with the duodenum, 

 becomes flexed and coiled in a characteristic manner. The distal limb of the intestinal
