Heart: Valvular complex
Product code: HP1306
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
A region of fibrous tissue (fibrous skeleton) sits between the atria and ventricles of the heart. While the exact extent and functions of the fibrous skeleton are debated, it is known to assist with electrical isolation of the atria from the ventricles and is related to the atrioventricular valves and aortic orifice. The Silicone Plastinate reveals the atrioventricular valvular entrance (base) of the ventricles, via removal of the atria, allowing exploration of the fibrous skeleton and associated structures. The course and territory of the ventricular parts of the coronary arteries are also revealed.
