Four-stage cross-section of a human artery showing the progression of arteriosclerosis. The progressive build-up of fatty deposits (cholesterol) and the formation of plaque up to vascular occlusion can be seen. The artery model simulates the dwindling vascular elasticity of a real artery. Starting with the soft, healthy artery through to the blocked artery in hard material.
The four model parts show
- Healthy (soft)
- Stage 1 (firm)
- Stage 2 (firmer)
- Stage 3 (hard)
The constriction of the vessels leads to a reduction in blood flow and even to vascular occlusion by a thrombus. The stages are rotatably connected. The model can be moved but cannot be dismantled.
