Key Features
Color-Coded for Identification: Each of the major bones is a different color, simplifying learning. This includes the frontal bone (often one color), parietal bones (paired, another color), occipital bone, temporal bones, sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone, zygomatic bones, maxilla, mandible, etc.
3-Part Dissectible Design: The skull can typically be disassembled into three parts: the calvaria (skullcap), the base of the skull, and the mandible (lower jaw). This allows for the study of the internal cranial structures.
Articulated Mandible: The mandible is usually attached with springs to allow for realistic, natural movement, demonstrating the function of the jaw. It is often removable for closer inspection.
Anatomical Accuracy: The model is a 1:1 life-size scale and accurately displays key anatomical features, making it a reliable study and reference tool.
Durable Construction: Made from a resilient, high-quality PVC plastic that is designed to withstand repeated handling in a classroom or lab environment.
Identification Key: The model almost always comes with a corresponding key or manual that identifies each colored bone by name.
This model is a foundational tool in a variety of educational settings:
Anatomy and Physiology: Used in high school, college, and university courses to teach the skeletal system.
Medical and Nursing Schools: Essential for future doctors, nurses, and physician assistants to gain a deep understanding of cranial anatomy.
Dental and Orthodontic Programs: For detailed study of the mandible, maxilla, and other facial bones relevant to their field.
Forensic Science and Anthropology: Used to learn bone identification and landmarking.
Patient Education: Utilized by doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists to visually explain medical conditions to their patients.
the Colored Human Skull (SB50960) is a powerful visual and tactile aid that simplifies the process of learning and memorizing the complex anatomy of the human skull.
