Question

what dissecting instrument should be used to remove parietal peritoneum to expose the kidney of the fetal pig? explain why.

Answer 1

Incisions to remove parietal peritonium should be first made shallowly with a scalpel, then a deeper cut with your scissors should open the cavity and expose the kidney of fetal pig.

A scalpel blade’s edge is its actual sharp cutting surface, which serves as an important component of the surgeon’s tactile feel. The better the tactile feel, the more control the surgeon has, resulting in more consistent and more precise incisions, hence, scalpels are used for dissecting parietal peritonium
