Body 3: Intermediate to deep structures & viscera
Product code: HP0103
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The various systems and regions of the body function together as a cohesive unit. Understanding the location, organisation and interconnection of these system, regions and structures is complex, and benefits from studying multiple anatomical specimens and views. This Silicone Plastinate (Body 3) is the third in a set of five bodies, that collectively show anatomical structures, systems, and regions from multiple perspectives and with progressively deeper dissection. Body 3 provides clear views of intermediate to deep level structures and viscera, via partial or complete removal of superficial structures. Various viscera of the thorax and retroperitoneal space are shown in their anatomical position from an anterior perspective. To maximise visualisation and learning benefit, different structures, positional arrangements, and dissection levels are shown on the left and right sides.
