1 Disarticulated Human Medical Study Skull

In order to develop this skull properly, the advice of educators, anatomists
and surgeons was solicited. Following an evaluation from Dr. Noel Boaz,
Professor of Anatomy.
„This skull is ideal for osteological teaching. It allows the student to
appreciate the individual bones, the sutures between the bones, and the
foramina of the skull. All foramina are bristle-patent, making student
exploration of perforating cranial nerve branches and blood vessels possible.
For the medical or dental student this skull is an excellent companion to 2
head-and-neck dissection. For the physical anthropology student this skull is
an invaluable learning tool for appreciating anatomical landmarks and cranial
morphology. For research, the skull is an invaluable laboratory reference for 1
detailed forensic anthropological, paleoanthropological, and anatomical
investigations. Its preparation offers a number of advantages over other
cranial models and even over real bone skulls. Museum-quality casting
procedures preserve minute surface detail with the appearance and texture
of real bone. There are no casting „flash lines“ that can obscure detail. The
skull is much more durable and will withstand much more handling than real NEW!
bone. All foramina have been rendered patent, allowing even small branches
of nerves and small blood vessels to be traced through this skull. The skull is
particularly useful in tracing the many branches of the trigeminal nerve, in
understanding the course of cranial parasympathetic nerves and the location
of their ganglia, and in reviewing the bony relationships of the branches of
the maxillary artery. Many of these foramina in real skulls are too narrow to
admit the passage of a bristle or fine probe. At a competitive price compared
to real skulls of good quality, this skull also is not subject to international 2 Disarticulated Human Fetal
regulations governing human subjects, sourcing, and donor authorization.“ -
