Natural size, made from SOMSO-Plast, after Prof. J. W. Rohen, M. D., Department of Anatomy, University of Erlangen. With the addition of 4 muscles of mastication. This model allows the skull to be dismantled into 18 parts corresponding with the natural skull bones. Each of the 4 large masticatory muscles (temporalis and masseter muscles, lateral and medial pterygoid muscles), can be individually removed and fitted into their natural positions. This not only provides an impressive picture of the complicated mosaic of the skull bones but also shows the anatomy of the different masticatory muscles and their relationship to the temperomandibular joint and lower jaw. All muscles of mastication are shown exactly in their natural size. Cervical vertebral column and hyoid bone. Weight: 1.72 kg.
