INSTRUCTIONAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR STUDYING THE GROSS ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN OR ANIMAL ORGAN SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention relates to an instructional device and method for use in high schools, colleges, universities, nursing schools, and medical schools for group or self-instruction in the gross anatomy of the organ systems and organs of the human body in which the student, following appropriate written instructions and diagrams, makes a two-dimensional plastic reconstruction of one or more organ systems in situ using precisely scaled, appropriately colored components of the organ systems printed on individual segments of transparent vinyl plastic which are applied in their respective positions to either the anterior or posterior surface of a fully articulated, two-dimensional skeletal manikin, the surfaces of which are printed back to back on a glossy and transparent backing surrounded by an outline of the skin.
