Lungs, trachea & intrapulmonary bronchial tree
Product code: HP1407
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The lungs primarily function as gas exchange units during respiration. The sequential branching of the bronchial tree within the lobes and bronchopulmonary segments of the lungs dramatically increases the surface area available for gas exchange. This Silicone Plastinate provides a unique view of the branching of the intrapulmonary bronchial tree within one lobe of the lung, alongside comprehensive views of the surfaces, borders, and lobes of the lungs. The impressions of the mediastinal organs and thoracic wall are easily identified and explored.
