This 3D print provides a detailed view of head and neck anatomy, showing different structures depending on the perspective. Lateral Face and Parotid Region A window exposes the parotid region, with the pinna intact and the mastoid process revealed by reflecting the sternocleidomastoid (SCM). The parotid gland is removed to display hidden structures, including the posterior digastric, masseter muscle, and mandibular condyle in the TMJ. The external carotid artery (ECA) and its branches, internal jugular vein (IJV), hypoglossal, vagus, spinal accessory, and facial nerves are clearly visible. Facial dermatomes are illustrated via the trigeminal nerve branches. Brain and Cranial Cavity The medial cerebrum shows the corpus callosum, thalamus, sulci, and gyri, while parts of the cerebellum are removed to expose the cranial fossae floor and fourth ventricle. The cavernous sinus, sella turcica, and intracranial course of cranial nerves II, III, V, VII–X, XI are displayed, including the facial canal and geniculate ganglion. Medial Surface and Key Vessels The parasagittal section reveals the lateral ventricle, cerebral peduncle, posterior cerebral artery, and the tentorium cerebelli. The internal carotid artery in the cavernous sinus is shown lateral to the optic chiasm. Additional structures include the mouth, tongue, associated muscles, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and cervical vertebrae.
