Natural size, made from SOMSO-Plast® after Prof. J. W. Rohen, M. D., Department of Anatomy, University of Erlangen. The model is constructed from 14 individual parts, which can easily be dismantled and put back together by way of interconnecting plugs.
•The sphenoid bone, occipital bone and the two temporal bones form the basis of the skull; the two parietal bones and the frontal bone attach to the anterior of the sphenoid bone.
•The facial part of the skull is then completed through attachment of the right and left maxilla, each of which also includes the lacrimal, nasal and palatine bone.
•Facial and cranial bones (viscerocranium and neurocranium) are connected to each other on each side by the zygomatic bone, which in the model is a separate element that can be individually removed.
•The mandibula is fixed into sockets on either side of the skull through a hinge-joint.
Moreover, the 4 large masticatory muscles (temporalis and masseter muscles, lateral and medial pterygoid muscles), can be removed individually or be reassembled in 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. Each of the 4 masticatory muscles can be removed and fitted individually in position. All muscles of mastication are shown exactly in their natural size and form.
