Thoracic & abdominopelvic viscera
Product code: HP1102
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The thoracic and abdominopelvic viscera are neatly packaged into a compact yet highly functional cavity within the axial part of the body. A knowledge of the position and orientation of these structures informs safe interventional and surgical procedures, proficient physical examination, and proficient examination of medical (radiographic) images. This Silicone Plastinate uniquely reveals the natural disposition of the thoracic and abdominal viscera from multiple perspectives allowing learners to quickly explore and visualise their morphology, relationships and peritoneal position.
