Skeleton model with movable spine and spinal nerves

Anatomically, the skeleton shows all the bones of the body (including the tongue bone and sesamoid bones). Cartilage in the chest and teeth in the upper and lower jaw are also included.



In addition, it comes with the vertebral artery, the spinal nerves and a herniated disc in the intervertebral disc between L3 and L4 (3rd and 4th lumbar vertebra).



The skull can be quickly disassembled and divided into 3 (skull cap, mandible and the remaining part of the skull).



The level of detail on the bones is really good. The scope of "osseous landmarks" includes both large details such as the tuberculum majus and minus on the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as smaller details such as the linea aspera on the back of the femur (thigh bone).



The epiphyseal lines are also shown on the upper and lower extremities (arms and legs).



Many details can be seen in the bone tissue, but the structure of the tissue does not appear as lifelike as the bone tissue on, for example, this skeleton in a higher price range.

In terms of movement, the model is extremely flexible in the back, but not in other joints, which are held together by metal buckles/metal, which limit the possibilities of movement. For example, rotation in the knee joints cannot be demonstrated, although both flexion and extension (bending and stretching) are possible.



Once the spine is bent, it stays bent until it straightens again.

The range of motion includes flexion-extension, lateral flexion and rotation in both the lower back and chest.



Furthermore, all movements of the head can be demonstrated corresponding to the upper neck joint. Movements in the lower neck joint (between C1 and C2) cannot be demonstrated in a lifelike way.

Clinically speaking, this model has been developed to be able to demonstrate disorders such as scoliosis, disc herniation and root affection.



The skeleton is also ideal for understanding many other diseases, disorders and genes in the skeleton.
