Head model MP1670

for teaching

This 3D print provides a detailed exploration of the head and visceral column of the neck, showcasing muscles, nerves, arteries, veins, and cranial structures. Facial Anatomy The right side of the face is dissected to reveal the facial nerve and its branches (temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, and cervical) following removal of the parotid gland. The relationships of the facial nerve, retromandibular vein, and external carotid artery are clearly visible. Muscles of the head include temporalis, masseter, and posterior belly of digastric, while arteries such as the facial, transverse facial, and superficial temporal arteries are preserved. The facial and transverse facial veins unite to form the common facial vein, which joins the retromandibular vein to form the external jugular vein. From the anterior view, facial muscles around the mouth (buccinator, orbicularis oris, zygomaticus major) and muscles of mastication are displayed. In the left infratemporal fossa, the medial and lateral pterygoids are dissected to show the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve, including the lingual nerve and inferior alveolar branch. The ophthalmic division branches (supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves) supplying the forehead and scalp are also demonstrated. The submandibular glands and facial vessels coursing over the mandible are clearly visible. Neck Anatomy The musculoskeletal structures of the neck are removed to expose the pharynx posteriorly, larynx anteriorly, and neurovascular bundles laterally. The suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are visible, as are the vocal folds viewed from below the trachea.
