Summary Introduction

To write:

The difference between the comparative lengths and paths of the oviducts or uterine tubes of the fetal pig and human.

Introduction:

Anatomy can be defined as a branch of biology that is associated with the study of the organism’s structure and its parts. In anatomy, the superficial indicates the structure is closer to the surface of the body or presents more outside than another.

Explanation of Solution

Uterus:

It is an organ located in the lower body of a female mammal or woman. In this region, the offspring is conceived. It is known as a womb in which the fetus is gestating before birth.

The difference between the comparative lengths and paths of the oviducts or uterine tubes of the fetal pig and human:

    Difference criteriaUterus of pig(uterine tubes)Uterus of human female(uterine tubes)
    1. Shape1. The pig’s uterus is Y-shaped. It has branches that form the left and right uterine horns.The human uterus has a single chamber. The offspring develops in this region. Humans lack the branches or uterine horns.
    2. Uterine tubesThese are small and coiled tubes located near the ovaries. They travel a small distance to meet the uterine horns. These are larger and longer. They pass to the uterine body from the ovaries. They have a relatively long distance from the uterus.
Conclusion

Uterine tubes are small and coiled tubes in fetal pigs than in humans.
