Erler Zimmer anatomical models of obesity types, M50:

Life-size anatomical model of the human torso, representation of obesity types

This extraordinary anatomical model illustrates the flanks of two bodies with different shapes of obesity.

One pear-shaped, the other apple-shaped, in two sections (left and right).

The Pear shape refers to the distribution pattern of body fat, or lower body fat. In this case this is composed mainly of subcutaneous fat.

In contrast, the Apple shape is characterized by intra-abdominal fat. In this case the fat may be either visceral or subcutaneous.

The anatomical model illustrates how obesity creates compressive effects on the colon, iliac artery, veins, ureter, small intestine, and femoral nerve.

The anatomical table, enclosed in the package depicts an apple, pear, and part of the same areas, with captions.

The Erler Zimmer M50 anatomical model of obesity types is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is very hard, lightweight, and corrosion resistant. PVC resists reactions with acids, alcohol gasoline, and hydrocarbons.
