Trunk 1: Thoracic, abdominal & pelvic viscera
Product code: HP0408
-
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 the study of multiple anatomical specimens and views. This Silicone Plastinate (Trunk 1) is the first in a set of three torsos, that collectively show anatomical structures, systems, and regions from multiple and varying perspectives, and with progressively deeper dissection. Trunk 1 reveals the viscera of the thoracic and abdominal cavities mainly in their anatomical position, alongside various levels of structure within the body wall and proximal limbs. To maximise visualisation and learning benefit, different structures, positional arrangements, and dissections levels are shown across the left and right sides.

Key features include
General
- Torso, including the neck, inferior part of mandible and occipital bone, and proximal parts of the upper and lower limbs.
- Veins of the neck and limbs removed to provide clear views of underlying structures.
Head and Neck
- Transverse section through mandible, tongue, oropharynx, and occipital bone (just superior to the foramen magnum).
- Floor of posterior cranial fossa, with the foramen magnum and its contents.
- Facial artery and the facial muscles associated with the inferior part of the mandible.
- Muscles of the neck, including the suprahyoid, infrahyoid and scalenus muscles, with sternocleidomastoid in place (one side) and removed (opposite side).
- Triangles and compartments of the neck and various contents.
- Submandibular and parotid (inferior part) glands.
- Regional neurovasculature of the neck, including the cervical plexus, brachial plexus, spinal accessory nerve (CN XI), vagus nerve (CN X), hypoglossal nerve (CNXII), phrenic nerve, ansa cervicalis, and carotid arteries.
- Branches of the external carotid artery.
- Thyroid gland with its relations and arterial supply.
- Hyoid bone and the external structure of the larynx, including the thyroid and cricoid cartilages, and associated membranes.
Thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum
- Anterolateral wall of the thorax and abdomen removed to reveal the thoracic and abdominal cavities separated by the diaphragm.
- Various posterior and lateral cutaneous nerves of the trunk.
- Viscera of the thorax and abdomen mainly in their anatomical position.
- Digestive canal shown in a full state.
- Peritoneal formations including the greater omentum and falciform ligament (with round ligament of the liver (ligamentum teres)).
- Cross sectional views of the layered structure of the thoracic and abdominal walls.
- Anterior view of the costodiaphragmatic recess (lateral part) and its anatomical relations.
- Window cut in pericardium to reveal the heart in-situ and its relationship with the tendinous part of the diaphragm.
- Coronary arteries associated with the anterior surface of the heart.
- External genital system anatomy (male or female). Male also includes the spermatic fasciae and contents of the spermatic cord. Female also includes the round ligament of the uterus.
- Structure and neurovascular supply of the pelvic floor and external anal sphincter (inferior/perineal view).
- Ischioanal fossae, perineal pouches, and perineal region muscles including transverse perineal, ischiocavernosus and bulbospongiosus.
Back
- Layered arrangement of various hypaxial muscles of the back shown across the left and right sides.
- Position and attachments of the thoracolumbar fascia.
- Various epaxial muscles of the back including erector spinae and splenius capitis.
- Key muscular triangles of the back, including the auscultation triangle, superior lumbar triangle and inferior lumbar triangle.
Lower Limb
- Muscles of the gluteal region and thigh (to its midpoint), shown mainly in the anatomical position.
- Veins removed to provide clear views of underlying structures.
- Various muscles are lifted or reflected to reveal underlying structures and regions.
- Gluteus maximus in the anatomical position (one side) and reflected (opposite side) to reveal underlying neurovasculature, muscles and the sacrotuberous ligament.
- Boundaries and content of the femoral triangle and subsartorial canal.
- Subsartorial canal opened (sartorius removed) to reveal its contents and the position and contents of the adductor hiatus.
- Course and relations of the key neurovascular structures, including the femoral, obturator and sciatic nerves, and the femoral artery and vein and their branches/tributaries.
Upper Limb
- Muscles of the shoulder and arm (to its midpoint).
- Veins removed to provide clear views of underlying structures.
- Various muscles are lifted or reflected to reveal underlying structures and regions.
- Boundaries (some) and neurovascular contents of the axilla, with different views shown across the left and right sides.
- Right and left upper limbs shown in different positions to aid visualisation of joint movement and the associated muscles.
- Scapula with related muscles shown in layers, including the rotator cuff muscles, deltoid, and various hypaxial muscles of the back.
- Course and relations of key neurovascular structures, including the musculocutaneous, ulnar, median, and radial nerves, and major arteries and their branches.
- Boundaries and contents of key regions, including the triangular space, triangular interval, and quadrangular space.
