The skeleton model PHY-SK-2 from Physa is a life-sized (180 cm) replica of the human skeleton at 1:1 scale. It depicts all parts of the skeleton in superb detail, including shoulders, hands, legs, skull, ribs, spine and pelvis, as well as accurately-represented muscular connections highlighted in colour. The bone structure is made of plastic, but its natural-looking surface and colour make it nearly impossible to distinguish from the "real" thing. This medical model is the perfect human anatomy visual aid for teaching and demonstration purposes in universities, clinics and schools. And it belongs in every doctor's surgery for helping to vividly describe patient's musculoskeletal ailments. It can even serve as an interesting conversation piece in your home. The medical model is delivered with a dust cover and a large colour poster listing all of the individual parts of the human skeletal system. The skeleton model impresses with its sophisticated portrayal of important body parts. For example, stainless-steel springs let you open and close the lower jaw to demonstrate the human chewing apparatus. The model also includes replacement teeth for visualising the tooth system. The skull can be easily opened up to allow a valuable glimpse into its inner workings. The limbs and most important joints, such as elbows, hands and knees, are also moveable, allowing you to demonstrate the functions of the musculoskeletal system in a lifelike way. This skeleton model is an excellent teaching tool thanks to its many colour-coded parts. The model demonstrates the connections between bones and muscles by showing muscle origins, marked in red, and insertions, visually supporting understanding of the human musculoskeletal system and facilitating analysis of the causes of fractures, sprains and bone fragments. The high-quality stainless-steel screw connections keep all the parts of the skeleton where they belong, provide stability and guarantee a long service life for the entire bone structure. The screw connections can be easily removed as needed. The supporting rod on which the skeleton is mounted to the base is also made of stainless steel. The stainless-steel parts won't lose their shine even after decades of use, won't corrode and are easy to clean. Thanks to the well-thought-out system of screws, the skeleton, supporting rod and base can all be assembled in a matter of minutes. The sturdy base is equipped with five 360-degree low-friction casters with which the educational skeleton can be easily pushed or pulled around the room without affecting its stability. The bone structure also comes with an eyelet mounted to the skull so that it can be hung, for example, from a hook on the wall or ceiling in order to position it differently or view it from different angles.
