Don't guess this skull to look beautiful like the professional models, but for a quarter of the cost it is soothe true. I am using this develop to study in a pre-med biology class in society and it works fine. All of the small fine points bestow on real skulls are there, just a little rougher almost the edges, plus some of the holes are not punched all the way owing to. The mandible is comes off and surrounded by the skull has the same anatomical fine points you would guess. This is splendid to study with at home lacking paying over $100 for the professional quality models.

The adage is "you get what you pay for", so if you want a skull model as good as the $90 models, don't get this. Even if if you do not feel like plopping a lot of money down, this is a great selection. Mine was clean, the jaw functioned by the book and it looks fine. At faster inspection the nasal septum and vomer are deviated and the piece that contains the medial and lateral pterygoid plates are overlapped a modest at the seams, but this is sweet minor. The deficiencies would not have hindered me when studying for anatomy or for reviewing previous to disection lab. The occlusion of the teeth is off, and the comes off teeth are O.K. (positively anatomically true) but they do not stay in the socket well. By and large, a good buy except you are used to effective with the actually nice models and are aggravated by the minor imperfections.

My first depression in the lead considering the skull was including the intention of it was extremely shiny. This itself would be ok, even if the top of the skull did not fit on accurately. The proportions if not are assess even if. It does not be inflicted including splendid top, but is helpful for fast an appreciative of the important proportions of a skull for the admittance art apprentice. Those who aspire a in tears a modest extra fussy even if, would be better of paying a pit extra for a nicer develop.

I'm a medical student. Let me precede my review including an explanation of why I purchased this skeleton, and what I had in mind when doing so.I wanted:A) a touch cheapB) an accurate representation of the skullC) I wasn't looking for a ton of details, or perfection. I wanted a touch to hold in my hand while I read through my anatomy text and/or atlas, to help myself get 3D oriented.In all these aspects, this model is perfect and I couldn't be happier. A lot of nuanced details are missing (e.g. no separation btwn nasal conchae, no visible separation btwn sphenoid and ethmoid, no obvious vomer, no obvious separation btwn median and lateral pterygoid plates, etc). However, all 8 cranial foramen are prevalent (some more so than others, and some are just generous indentations and not in fact foramen).Also, one of the hinges holding the cranium onto the facial skeleton ruined. However, the pegs that hold them together are stong enough, and I really dont even see a need for these hinges...so whatever :) Also, the mandible is on there good. Kinda wish it could be removed without unscrewing the anchor for the spring (to get a perfect inferior view), but it is easily moved out of the way, so that's ok.In summary, if you're looking for a touch cheap and accurate to get yourself 3D oriented, buy this. If you want a perfect, extremely detailed representation, I think you're going to just have to shell out $90+ for the legit ones.

I'm a 1st time health check apprentice and I bought this skull to examine early family. It's sweet skilled pro the fee...most others are ended $100. It is, even if, not perfectly real - pro persons attracted, here are no mandibular foramen, a poorly matured pterygopalatine fossa,extremely fleeting styloid processes, and approximately of the additional foramen boost extra as indents extremely than full holes (carotid canals,optic canals). It is caring pro tracing nerve pathways as lingering as you can get on to ended the detail including the intention of approximately of the foramen aren't actually foramen. I would urge this to examine anatomy at family at a evenhanded fee as lingering as you be inflicted including lobby to better examine equipment to get on to a extra real check over of the skull.

I bought this skull in hopes of using it for involved depiction, but the seams between the fake were so poorly aligned that I had to restore it. Many of the pieces waggle almost and don't sit closely. You may also need to trim some surplus fake off from the molding administer, as the one I recieved did not look very clean-- above all between the teeth. I find the comes off teeth grating just since they don't stay in very well, but they are by the book twisted and would be great for revelation. I don't mean to just bash the manufactured goods even if; this skull would be great for a classroom where one was tiresome to give broadcast the depression of what a skull is, how it functions and the number surrounded by the skull.

I purchased this skull to help me study for my Anatomy & Physiology class because I was finding it difficult to envision the structure without a 3D model. It was surpass feature than I thought it was going to be and quite heavy. It has 3 removable teeth and the mandible has springs on it so it can move up and not effective. I found it to be anatomically correct and a great study guide (I aced my exam in case you were wondering!)

splendid for examine purposes for classes such as anatomy. Has every part of the skull to know.

you could spend $100+ and get a best skull, but why bother? I'm using it for modify level anatomy and it serves its function well.

I am a physician, and this is as acurate as anything I used in school. I purchased this as a gag gift, but I will keep it after considering the feature.
