Trunk 2: Thoracic, retroperitoneal & pelvic viscera
Product code: HP0411
-
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 2) is the second 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 2 reveals intermediate and deeper level viscera within the thoracic and abdominal cavities, and retroperitoneal space, and superior views of pelvic viscera. Various levels of structure within the body wall and proximal limbs are also shown. To maximise visualisation and learning benefit, different structures, positional arrangements, and dissection levels are shown across the left and right sides.
