Heart model with focus on the 4 heart valves and cast after a real heart

Anatomically speaking, the heart model shows the 4 chambers, the auricles, the heart's blood supply (arteries and veins), the 4 valves based on the sac valve and mitral valve system, the beginning of the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart and a hint that the heart's structure consists of 3 different layers (endo-, myo- and pericardium). The coronary sinus is also included. The heart's impulse conduction system is not seen.



The supplementary model shows the "fibrous skeleton" of the heart around the AV ostia with flap valves as well as the aortic and pulmonary ostia with pouch valves.

Clinically speaking, the 2 models show nothing pathological (in terms of disease) but many anatomical structures in which disease can occur.



The supplementary model of the heart valves is ideal for explaining and understanding diseases related to the valves. At the same time, you can use the supplementary model to describe the closing lines of the valves and much else, while the heart model can for example be used to describe the connection of the AV valves to the papillary muscles via the chordae tendinae.
