Merinden Human Heart Model, Life Size Anatomically Accurate, 48 Structures, Removable Sections, Educational & Medical Demonstration

É bem bonito mas é pequeno, menor do que eu esperava

Buenos materiales y excelente la escala del modelo

What a great model of the heart and associated structures! And, a small labeled poster is included with several images of the actual heart model (not just an uncredited diagram from an old, out of copy-right text that looks nothing like the model in question that so many brands provide). The model is life-sized, heavy for its size and feels very sturdy. It comes apart in several different ways for closer inspection and study of internal features. And once, reassembled, it stays together thanks to magnets (and some plastic pegs). I've seen many anatomical models that have to be held together with rubber bands, or worse, have missing pieces. The model is beautifully painted and the degree of detail is very impressive. I really like how the base is actually the diaphragm and in addition to the great vessels, the trachea, esophagus and thymus gland are also included (and a bit of the liver). Want to see the entire heart in many different views? Remove the thymus, take the heart off the base for a closer look, leaving the esophagus, aorta and trachea behind (or take them off, too). Want to view the interior of the two atria? Both auricles can be removed. What about the ventricles? A section of the anterior wall of each of them can be removed. Take the atria off for a completely different view of the four chambers and valve + entrances/exits of the great vessels. So many features to ID and functions to demonstrate.... This model would be great for A&P students to supplement the limited time available in the lab and reinforce what is learned in lecture. It would be useful in medical offices as well. This model is well worth the current price of $109.99.

Just playing with this, taking it apart, and putting it back together has been cool to look at the pieces from different angles and then compare them to the diagram.I took Anatomy and Physiology classes in college before changing my major and earning an accounting degree, and there aren't enough ways to draw the heart, or to draw slices of it, that compare to holding this and taking it apart, inspecting the pieces it connects to from different angles, putting it back together... The heart is just such a complicated, cool muscle that connects to the circulatory system and the pulmonary system...Just touching this and turning it over in my hands is helping me so much more than coloring all those Gray's Anatomy diagrams... As fun as those were.It's 1.5 times the size of the actual muscle, so easier to see and inspect while still being similar.I love this model, I wish I'd had it back in college, but also back long before that.

Me gustó lo que se puede demostrar a los alumnos con la réplica del corazón, por su puesto que el tamaño es lo que no me gustó, claro para el precio es un excelente producto
