Description
If you are searching for details only a real bone skull could match, this is where your search ends! Experts agree: This is one of the most detailed and accurate plastic human skulls available on the market. Completely made by hand by medical artists, this skull has every major, minor and nearly impossible to recreate detail present on an actual human skull. For the manufacturing process, a real human skull with full dentition was chosen and the model is dissectible into 14 parts.
A horizontal section of the skull exposes the cranial cavity in which the course of the meningeal vessels, the venous sinuses and the internal carotid artery are indicated in color. A sagittal section exposes the structure of the nasal cavity including frontal and sphenoidal sinuses.
The frontal sinus is further dissected on one side by a bony section, on the other side it is resected in its outline. The temporal bone is removable and sectioned into two parts presenting internal ear anatomy in full view.
The mandible and the maxillae are opened on one side presenting the roots of teeth with dental vessels and nerves presented artificially in color. The mandible is movable and can be taken off. On the other side, the maxillae can be opened by a bony window.
If you demand the most in anatomical detail from a plastic human skull, this skull is what we recommend. Skull measures approximately 9.5 x 5.5 x 6.7 inches and weighs approximately 1.5 pounds.
Manufactured by medical artists and craftsmen in Germany. Backed by an industry-leading 5 year warranty. This skull does not come with a manual.
