This set of 5 life-size models illustrates the different types of joint in the human body.
The joint types demonstrated are the sutures in the skull, tooth socket, ball and socket hip joint, cartilaginous joint between two vertebrae, and the tibia-fibula joint. The tooth is attached to a jaw which is cut away to show molar roots. The vertebral disc is of natural appearance and flexible, as is the tibia-fibula joint.
In addition, the hip joint and vertebrae models are painted to show the articulating surfaces. This joint model set is ideal for educating students and patients alike.
