Description

Useful for anatomical study and for students in middle or high school or college this human skin model is 70 times larger than life size skin for an enhanced display of dermatological structures. The model depicts the three layers of the skin and internal structures for detailed examination, including the sebaceous and sweat glands, hair follicles, erector muscles, arteries, nerves, and veins. The model is hand-painted for accurate representation, and is numbered and includes a key card for identifying the following features: Epidermis, dermis, Subcutaneous Fat / Hypoderm, Stratum basal, Stratum spinosum, Stratum granulosum, Stratum lucidum, Stratum corneum, Pore, Papillary layer of dermis, Reticular layer of dermis, Cortex, Arrector pilorium muscle, Sebaceous Gland, Sweat Gland, Meissners Corpuscle (touch), Pacinian corpuscle (pressure), Free nerve ending, Ruffini endings, cutaneous nerve, cutaneous artery, cutaneous vein, hair, follicle sheath, external root sheath, internal root sheath, precuticular epithelium, cortex, hair bulb, and hair papillae.

The model is mounted on a base for demonstration purposes, and is made of durable, lightweight polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic-coated fiberglass. The model (not including base) measures 7-1/4 L x 11 W x 1 H inches. Base measures 9 L x 13 W x 1 H inches.
