Orbits & relations
Product code: HP0316
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The orbits house the eyeballs and numerous accessory structures associated with vision. Due to their osseous walls and densely packed contents, the orbitss are difficult to dissect and display in a way that aids functional understanding. This Silicone Plastinate provides multiple, unique and detailed views of the orbits, their contents and connections and clinically-relevant structural relations. The position and contents of the cavernous sinus is also revealed, alongside associated neurovasculature of the face.
