Bowel anatomical model MP1725

for teaching

This 3D printed small loop of ileum highlights the arterial arcades in the mesentery. It demonstrates many short vasa rectae and a higher number of arcades compared to the jejunum. The mesentery is dissected to reveal the vessels and one or two large lymph nodes near the root of the mesentery. Mesenteric Fat and Vessels The model clearly shows the fat in the mesentery extending up to and beyond the mesenteric border of the bowel, emphasizing the anatomical relationship between fat, vessels, and lymph nodes. Ileal Mucosa A small segment of the ileum has been opened to display the mucosal folds, which are fewer but larger than those found in the jejunum, giving a detailed view of the bowel’s internal structure.
