Torso model with open back, dual sex - 27 parts

This complete, life-size torso with open back is composed of 27 parts and provides a highly realistic, detailed reproduction of anatomical structures, with all body systems fully accessible. Significant structures are numbered and referenced on the accompanying key, with further detail provided in the CD-ROM Guide.

The open back exposes the muscular layers, the vertebral column and the associated nerve branches. A thoracic vertebra, including a section of spinal cord, is removable for close examination. The head is open with the brain fully exposed on one side, and the neck is dissected to expose muscular, neural, vascular and glandular structures. The dissectible male and female urogenital systems are interchangeable.
