Description
Key Features
Enlarged Scale: The model is much larger than a life-size ovary, allowing for the clear visualization of microscopic structures that would otherwise not be visible.
Depicts the Ovarian Cycle: This is the model's most important feature. It typically shows the following progressive stages in one cohesive view:
Primordial and primary follicles
Secondary (antral) follicle
Mature Graafian follicle (ready for ovulation)
Ovulation (the rupture of the follicle and release of the oocyte)
Corpus luteum (the structure that forms from the follicle after ovulation)
Corpus albicans (the degenerated scar tissue of the corpus luteum)
Cross-Sectional View: The cutaway design reveals the internal anatomy, including the outer cortex where follicles develop and the central medulla containing blood vessels and nerves.
Durable Construction: Made from a high-quality, durable PVC plastic, often hand-painted, and mounted on a sturdy base for classroom display and study.
Identification Key: Usually accompanied by a key card or manual that identifies the numbered or colored structures on the model.
This model is a valuable teaching aid in a variety of settings:
Anatomy and Physiology: Used in high school, college, and university courses to teach the female reproductive system and the endocrine cycle.
Biology and Embryology: Essential for illustrating the processes of oogenesis, meiosis, and human reproduction.
Medical and Nursing Schools: A fundamental tool for students studying gynecology, endocrinology, and reproductive medicine to understand the physiological basis of the menstrual cycle.
Patient Education: Used by gynecologists and fertility specialists to help patients visualize and understand their cycle, ovulation, and various medical conditions or treatments (like IVF).
the Human Ovary model (SB50957) is a detailed, magnified educational tool designed to provide a clear, visual representation of the dynamic processes occurring within the ovary throughout the menstrual cycle.
