Top-Selling Models by Body System
Anatomy and physiology courses benefit greatly from the use anatomical models and skeletons. Quality models show detailed morphology of organs and complete body systems. Models simplify the identification of anatomical structures, organ positioning within the body cavity, and the relationship between structure and function. Many models can be disassembled, allowing students to explore internal structures. Additionally, they are an excellent reference tool for identifying small and indistinct structures.
