This vascular skull model shows the major veins and arteries of the head (external and internal) and neck. The arteries are shown in red on one side and the veins in blue on the other. The life size adult skull is horizontally sectioned with removable vault, made from a unique specially formulated plastic with the look and feel of real bone. This material allows reproduction of fine anatomical detail to the most exacting requirements.
The mandible is not articulated or removable - instead the entire skull can be angled/positioned to view the underside by virtue of a flexible stand. The vault lifts to expose all the internal features of the cranium. Removing the vault exposes the main arteries and veins/sinuses on the floor of the cranium. The separate skull bones are clearly shown and meticulous moulding distinguishes such detail as the fine bones of the nasal concha, internal carotid artery canal and full size styloid processes.
The skull models with arteries comes with seven cervical vertebrae mounted on a flexible stand.
