If you are looking for a detailed skull model in a small size that can "fit in your hand", this is ideal.


The model is cast in white plastic and the dimensions are 10 x 6.5 x 7.5 cm. The skull cap ("the top") can be removed, so i.a. the base of the skull (basis cranii interna) can be studied. The skull cap is held in place by small, discreet magnets, which are only visible when removed.


NB: This skull model is identical to the skull of our detailed and only 85 cm high mini skeleton, which is very popular with our customers. See the mini skeleton model HERE

Anatomical features

Anatomically, the human skull can be divided into 2 parts, and the skull model therefore shows the following:



1) The braincase (neurocranium), which is intended to enclose the brain and the hearing-equilibrium organ



2) The facial skeleton (viscerocranium) which surrounds the nasal cavity and forms the tooth-bearing framework around the oral cavity. The 32 teeth are also included



The braincase consists of 8 bones. There are 4 unpaired (the frontal, sphenoid, sphenoid and occipital bones) and 2 paired (the occipital and temporal bones). All these bones as well as sutures can be identified on the skull model.



The facial skeleton includes 6 paired bones (the maxilla, palatine, cheekbone, nasal bone, lacrimal bone, and lower conchbone) and 3 unpaired bones called the mandible, the ploughshare, and the zygomatic bone (some do not count the zygomatic bone as part of the facial skeleton). All these bones and sutures can also be identified on the skull model. NB: The hyoid bone is also included in the facial skeleton but cannot be seen on this skull model.



The human skull contains many holes and channels containing vessels and nerves. Overall, there are connections between the braincase and the neck, to and from the eye socket, to and from the pterygo-palatine fossa and to and from the nasal cavity.



This skull model shows some of the most important holes and canals, but not all. Furthermore, the level of detail on the bones is good. As for "osseous landmarks" such as the processus styloideus, part of the most important ones are seen, while minor participants are omitted.

Product flexibility

In terms of movement, it is only relevant to mention the jaw joint. The lower jaw bone ("mandible") is held in place by means of a metal spring, which is attached via screws to the mandible and palatine bone.



If you grasp the mandible, it can be moved, but natural movements cannot be demonstrated.



The mandible can be completely removed, but it requires at least one screw to be removed with a screwdriver.

Clinical features

Clinically speaking, the skull model is ideal for understanding diseases, disorders and disorders in this part of the skeleton, although most people will probably use it for parties, decorations or the like.
