Right lung, hilum removed

This 3D model depicts a life-sized adult heart with light dissection of the epicardium, offering a clear view of the coronary arteries, cardiac veins, and great vessels at the heart's base.Key Anatomical Features:Great Vessels:- Superior vena cava and azygos vein drain into the right atrium.- Aortic arch preserved, with two main branches: - A combined brachiocephalic trunk (giving rise to both right and left common carotid and right subclavian arteries). - Left subclavian artery arising independently.- Pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries intact.- Ligamentum arteriosum visible between the aortic arch and left pulmonary artery. Coronary Arteries:- Right coronary artery (RCA) descends from the ascending aorta, wrapping to the posterior interventricular sulcus.- Left coronary artery (LCA) branches: - Anterior interventricular artery (LAD) runs toward the apex.- Diagonal branches dive into the myocardium.- Circumflex artery runs posteriorly, near the great cardiac vein.Venous Drainage:Coronary sinus clearly preserved on the posterior heart surface, draining into the right atrium near the inferior vena cava.

This detailed 3D model presents a transverse cross-section of the thorax at the level of the T6 vertebra, offering a clear view of thoracic anatomy in relation to skeletal, vascular, respiratory, and cardiac structures.Key Features:Posterior Structures- Begins medially with the spinal cord within the vertebral canal- Costovertebral joints of the 6th ribs are visible, along with surrounding ribs forming the thoracic wall Anterior Thoracic Wall- Costosternal joints show the connection between ribs and sternumMajor Thoracic Organs- Oesophagus located anterior to the vertebral body- Descending aorta situated lateral to the vertebral bodyLungs and Pleural Cavities- Within the pleural spaces (lined by parietal pleura):- Right lung: middle and inferior lobes- Left lung: inferior lobeHeart and Mediastinum- In the middle mediastinum, the heart is shown within the pericardium, sectioned to display internal anatomy:- Left atrium (posterior)- Aortic valve, right ventricle, and right atrium in clockwise order

Coeliac TrunkThe celiac trunk, arising at the T12 level, supplies the embryological foregut. Visible branches include the left gastric artery from the left side, the splenic artery passing to the left hypochondrium, and the common hepatic artery on the right. The common hepatic gives rise to the gastroduodenal artery, which connects to the superior mesenteric artery, and the proper hepatic artery, which branches into the left and right hepatic arteries. The right hepatic artery eventually forms the cystic artery supplying the gallbladder. Superior Mesenteric Artery and Inferior Mesenteric ArteryThe superior and inferior mesenteric arteries arise at L1 and L3, supplying the midgut and hindgut. While not fully preserved, the superior mesenteric artery is visible exiting below the pancreas and branching out, and the inferior mesenteric artery descends along the left side of the aorta. The left colic artery branches from the inferior mesenteric artery, supplying the colon via the marginal arteries. Venous System of the AbdomenThe superior mesenteric vein lies posterior to the artery and appears less tubular. Removal of the liver’s left lobe exposes portal vein branches, which carry nutrients from the gut to hepatocytes before draining via hepatic veins into the inferior vena cava.Hilum of the KidneyThe right kidney shows typical anatomy with the renal vein superior, artery inferior, and ureter descending. The left kidney displays variation: the renal vein is inferior and subdivided, the artery is superior, and the ureter descends medially. Muscles, Nerves and Other VasculatureThe psoas major and iliacus muscles are visible on both sides, with key lumbar plexus nerves around them—especially on the left—including the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, femoral, and genitofemoral nerves. Medial to the psoas major, the left testicular artery (from the aorta) and vein (draining to the left renal vein) are seen. The right testicular vein drains directly into the IVC. A branch of the iliolumbar artery passes beneath the testicular vessels and ureter. GallbladderJust inferior to the liver, the gallbladder can be observed with the cystic artery moving inferiorly to meet it. The cystic duct can also be seen moving from the gallbladder, meeting the common hepatic duct moving from the liver to form the common bile duct.

This high-quality 3D model presents a sagittal section of the right lung, focused on the hilum, where key anatomical structures enter and exit the lung. It serves as an essential tool for understanding pulmonary vascular and bronchial anatomy, with clear orientation from apex to base and medial to lateral surfaces.Key Features:Hilum Structure:- The hilum marks the transition between visceral and parietal pleura and serves as the lung’s only anatomical connection to the body via the pulmonary ligament.- Major structures entering the lung at this point include:- Pulmonary artery (superior in the hilum) – carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart.- Superior and inferior pulmonary veins (anterior and inferior) – returning oxygenated blood to the heart.- Right main bronchus and its lobar branches – located posteriorly in the hilum. - Associated nerves and lymphatics. Visible Anatomical Landmarks:- Cardiac impression (formed by the right atrium) is visible just anterior to the hilum.- The oesophageal groove is preserved along the posterior surface, tracing the path of the descending oesophagus.- Oblique and horizontal fissures are well-defined on the lateral surface, demarcating the lung's three lobes.- Hilar lymph nodes are observed around the medial hilum.Lung Surfaces:- Diaphragmatic surface (inferior), showing the concave interface with the diaphragm.- Costal visceral surface (posterior), where the lung contacts the thoracic wall.

This 3D anatomical model presents a left lung dissected in a parasagittal plane, offering a unique internal view of pulmonary structures and anatomical landmarks. The mediastinal surface has been removed, allowing detailed observation of internal lung anatomy and its relationship to the heart and diaphragm.Key Features:Bronchial Tree (Internal View):- The primary bronchi are not visible due to prior branching.- Subdivided bronchi are preserved, though the dissection depth makes it unclear whether they represent secondary (lobar) or tertiary (segmental) bronchi. Vascular Structures:- Pulmonary arteries and veins are typically seen at the hilum, but precise levels of subdivision are undetermined in this section.Cardiac Impression:- A clear concave impression remains on the medial lung surface, formed by the left ventricle of the heart pressing against the lung.- Despite the dissection, this landmark remains distinctly visible.Diaphragmatic Surface:- The lung’s base is concave, resting atop the diaphragm.- While the pleura is not preserved, the model indicates where the diaphragmatic recess would form—between the costal and diaphragmatic pleura.

This highly detailed 3D model depicts the key anatomy of the superior thoracic aperture, mediastinum, and adjacent neck and thoracic structures, with both clavicles and select muscular and venous elements removed to enhance visibility and educational impact.Anatomical Highlights:Superior Thoracic Aperture:- Trachea visible at the top, with a robust ring of cartilage.- Rib 1 exposed from lateral to medial, including insertion of the anterior scalene muscle.- Removal of clavicles allows unobstructed views into the upper thoracic corridor. Vascular Anatomy:- Right subclavian artery, situated above rib 1, gives rise to the thyrocervical trunk.- Left subclavian artery, also above rib 1, branches into the suprascapular artery.- Both common carotid arteries are visible; the left carotid sheath includes the left vagus nerve.Nervous System:- Left vagus nerve follows the left carotid artery within the carotid sheath; left recurrent laryngeal nerve loops under the aorta.- Right vagus nerve and right phrenic nerve retracted during dissection; left phrenic nerve remains anterior to the heart, tracing to the diaphragm.- Elements of the left brachial plexus are visible—from roots to trunks—including the dorsal scapular nerve.Mediastinal & Cardiac Orientation:- Arch of the aorta, with brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid, and left subclavian artery, sits just above the heart.- Pulmonary trunk emerges immediately superior to the heart.- Left anterior descending artery (LAD) courses along the anterior heart surface.- Superior vena cava lies to the right and posterior to the ascending aorta.- Right phrenic nerve positioned posteriorly to the heart; left phrenic nerve runs in its connective tissue anteriorly.Inferior Thorax & Diaphragm:- Ribs 8–12 and associated external intercostal musculature visible; muscle fibers run inferomedially into fascial layers.- Right hemidiaphragm sits higher than the left, reflecting the presence of the liver beneath.

This 3D model represents one of the largest and most complex in the series, consisting of a partial torso from the diaphragm to the proximal thigh with a complete abdominal cavity preserving varying levels of dissection. This 3D model also records the rare, simultaneous occurrence of indirect and direct inguinal hernias allowing for a consideration of the anatomical underpinnings for both conditions. Given the scale of the dissection this 3D model description is divided into discrete parts based on views and regions.The diaphragmThe diaphragm is preserved on the model’s superior aspect, with both domes and costodiaphragmatic recesses visible despite some distortion from rib removal. The fibrous pericardium rests on the central tendon, with the terminal inferior vena cava seen in the caval foramen. Lateral to this lies the oesophagus in the oesophageal hiatus, and the descending thoracic aorta approaching the aortic hiatus near the vertebrae. The epigastric and hypochondriac regionsIn the abdomen, removal of the anterior wall, greater omentum, and much of the GI tract reveals retroperitoneal structures. The terminal oesophagus enters just left of the liver. With the stomach removed, the pancreas is fully exposed from head to tail, reaching the spleen in the left hypochondrium. Above it, the splenic and common hepatic arteries span the narrow space between pancreas, diaphragm, and liver. The tortuous splenic artery divides near the splenic vein; the common hepatic gives rise to the gastroduodenal and right gastric arteries, superficial to the portal vein. The superior mesenteric vessels pass near the pancreatic head, and the ileocolic artery leads to the caecum. The inferior mesenteric vein arises from the superior rectal vein and crosses the descending aorta. Below the liver, the gallbladder lies between the lobes. On the left, renal vessels pass deep to the pancreas, with ureters descending across the psoas muscles. The umbilical and lumbar regionsMost abdominal organs in the umbilical and lumbar regions have been removed to reveal the posterior abdominal wall. Centrally, the descending aorta and inferior vena cava are prominent, with testicular vessels traceable toward the inguinal region. Two right lumbar arteries branch from the aorta, and the inferior mesenteric artery gives rise to the left colic, sigmoid, and superior rectal arteries. On the right, subcostal, iliohypogastric, and ilioinguinal nerves are visible, along with the circumflex iliac artery.The hypogastrium and iliac regionsThe abdominal aorta bifurcates into the common, internal, and external iliac arteries, with matching iliac veins merging into the inferior vena cava. The obturator artery, ureters, and testicular vessels are visible. In the true pelvis, the peritoneum covers the bladder, while the rectum remains obscured. The right iliac fossa contains the terminal ileum, caecum, and appendix, with nearby vessels and nerves. On the left, the sigmoid colon crosses the iliac fossa, where an epiploic appendage extends into an indirect hernia near the inferior epigastric artery. The inguinal region and perineumThis model uniquely preserves both direct (right) and indirect (left) inguinal hernias, with the inferior epigastric vessels retained for anatomical orientation. The right hernia lies medial to these vessels; the left hernia sac extends laterally into the spermatic cord, containing an epiploic appendage. The perineum reveals the penis, testes, and spermatic cords. On the right, the cord remains intact; on the left, it’s opened, showing a varicose testicular vein linked to the indirect hernia. The thighThe femoral triangle has been dissected on both thighs. On the right, the femoral sheath was removed to reveal the femoral artery, vein, deep inguinal lymph nodes, and femoral nerve. On the left, a broader view exposes anterior and medial thigh muscles, with the femoral artery, profunda femoris, and circumflex iliac artery visible. The model ends mid-thigh, showing cross-sectional anatomy including the femoral shaft, vessels, and muscles in the subsartorial canal.
