Stomach Dissection - Erler Zimmer 3D anatomy Series MP1134

This model of Stomach Dissection and is part of the exclusive Monash 3D anatomy series, a comprehensive series of human dissections reproduced with ultra-high resolution color 3D printing.

This 3D model is an isolated stomach with two dissection windows to expose the rugae and pylorus. A small portion of the terminal esophagus is preserved in the cardia region and a small portion of the proximal duodenum beyond the pyloric sphincter. The large window within the body of the stomach allows a clear view of the fundus and well-developed wrinkles on the posterior aspect of the organ wall. The smaller window, open only at the pyloric region, allows appreciation of the thickening of the organ wall at the pyloric sphincter just proximal to the beginning of the duodenum.

What advantages does the Monash University anatomical dissection collection offer over plastic models or plastinated human specimens?

• Each body replica has been carefully created from selected patient X-ray data or human cadaver specimens selected by a highly trained team of anatomists at the Monash University Center for Human Anatomy Education to illustrate a range of clinically important areas of anatomy with a quality and fidelity that cannot be achieved with conventional anatomical models-this is real anatomy, not stylized anatomy.
• Each body replica has been rigorously checked by a team of highly trained anatomists at the Center for Human Anatomy Education, Monash University, to ensure the anatomical accuracy of the final product.
• The body replicas are not real human tissue and therefore not subject to any barriers of transportation, import, or use in educational facilities that do not hold an anatomy license. The Monash 3D Anatomy dissection series avoids these and other ethical issues that are raised when dealing with plastinated human remains.
