- The only urinary system model which allows study of its anterior, posterior and lateral aspects
Denoyer-Geppert Unlike ordinary urinary system models which are two dimensional plaques presenting only half the picture, this fully three-dimensional replica of the male urinary apparatus and its blood supply is free-standing, permitting study from all aspects.
Molded entirely of non-breakable vinyl polymer, the larger-than-life model consists of three parts: 1) the kidneys, adrenals and blood vessels, 2) a section of the pelvic bones with pubic symphysis, lower portion of the bladder and prostate; 3) the upper portion of the bladder and prostate. Flexible plastic tubing is utilized for the ureters.
The right kidney is sagitally sectioned revealing its cortex, medulla, pyramids, calyces, pelvis and the ramifications of the renal artery and vein. Other blood vessels included are the large abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava and their bifurcations, the common iliac and ultimately the femoral arteries and veins.
Opening the bladder exposes the folded mucosa of its interior, the orifices of the ureters, the trigone, prostatic portion of the urethra, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts and vas deferens. 50 hand-numbered features are identified in the accompanying key. Overall dimensions: 12 x 19 x 8" (30 x 48 x 20cm).
