The skin model shows the microscopic structure of the human skin in detail. With the help of the different skin sections of the hairless skin (for example palm of hand) and the hairy skin (for example forearm) the different skin cell layers as well as the embedded sweat glands, touch receptor, blood vessels, nerves and a hair with root can be seen. Furthermore a nail section model on the base shows the nail plate, nail bed and the nail root. The representation of a hair root with all its cell layers completes the skin model.

The human heart model separates into 7 parts and comes on a base. It is sectioned so that both ventricles and atria open to expose the valves. Large blood vessels near the heart and musculature of the heart are shown as well. The model is numbered and comes with a key card.

The three-model set displays the differences between cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle structures. The cardiac muscle cell, enlarged 1500 times, is dissected to display syncytial fiber arrangement and Purkinje cells; the skeletal muscle, enlarged 1000x, shows the union with both and tendon, and sarcolemma; and the smooth muscle, enlarged 2500x, exhibits the capillary and motor end plate of the autonomic nerve.

This set provides students with a detailed view of blood elements without a microscope. Cast in durable, lightweight plastic and hand painted under the direction of our staff anatomist for realistic features, the eight individual models consist of the erythrocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, small lymphocyte, large lymphocyte, monocyte, and platelets.
The models are enlarged 10,000x and are rendered in a centimeter scale that equals micron dimensions of cells in blood smears.
