This large anatomical model can sit on a stand or hang from its head. The skull cap detaches and the mandible and joints are operable. Plastic spinal discs and nerves follow the spinal cord. This (almost) life size model is an interesting addition to any curio space.
Human anatomy was the most prominent of the biological sciences of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The discipline also progressed to establish growing sources of knowledge in histology and developmental biology. As a supplement to intricately drawn diagrams in books, plastic models were cast to replace the need for bodies. Use these models for teaching in a classroom or at home, or use these as a conversation starter in a room with oddities of the 20th century. These models were salvaged from St. Catherine University’s Biology department in St. Paul Minnesota.
