Overview of the Erler Zimmer skeleton
The Erler Zimmer Skeleton is an anatomical model of the human skeleton that is often used in medical or biology schools. It provides a detailed and realistic representation of the bone structure of the human body and is ideal for learning human anatomy. The skeleton is divided into different parts that allow you to study the individual bones and their position in the body. It is a valuable tool for students and professionals as it allows them to identify the different bones of the body and understand their functions. In addition, the Erler Zimmer skeleton can help visualise injuries or diseases of the skeleton. It provides an excellent opportunity to combine anatomy and pathology and to deepen the understanding of the structure and functioning of the human body. Overall, the Erler Zimmer skeleton is an indispensable tool for anyone studying human anatomy, whether as part of their studies or their professional work.
- Human skeleton
The human skeleton is a fascinating and complex system of bones that gives the body its shape and stability. It consists of around 206 bones that are closely connected to each other and fulfil various functions. To better understand the anatomy of the skeleton, anatomical models are used that have additional features such as muscle markings and the ligamentous apparatus.
These models are ideal for studying anatomy as they provide a detailed representation of the skeleton and mark important structures such as muscles and ligaments. This makes it easier for students to understand the relationships between the bones and surrounding tissues.
A renowned manufacturer of anatomical models is ERLER ZIMMER. This company is a specialist in the field of medical education and offers a wide range of high-quality anatomical models, including models of the human skeleton with additional features such as muscle markings and the ligamentous apparatus.
In summary, anatomical models of the human skeleton with additional features such as muscle markings and the ligamentous apparatus offer an optimal way to study anatomy. ERLER ZIMMER is a trusted manufacturer specialising in anatomical models, making it the ideal choice for students of medicine and related disciplines.
- Movable spine
The Erler Zimmer "Hugo" skeleton is equipped with a movable spine consisting of individual vertebrae connected by flexible intervertebral discs. These discs act as shock absorbers and enable the spine to move and withstand loads. The spine consists of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx.
The spinal nerves emerge from the spinal column. These nerves branch out and connect the brain with the various regions of the body. Movement and sensations in the body can be perceived through these exit points.
The spinal column plays an important role in movements, postures and misalignments. In an upright posture, it supports the body and enables us to stand and walk upright. During various movements, such as turns or bending movements, the spine enables flexible adaptation and gives the body stability.
Misalignments of the spine can lead to problems. For example, incorrect posture can lead to tension and pain in the back. A crooked spine can lead to scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine. By using the Erler Zimmer skeleton "Hugo", the effects of different movements and postures on the spine can be better understood and visualised.
Three-part skull
The three-part skull consists of the neurocranium, the viscerocranium and the base of the skull.
The neurocranium comprises the cranial bone that protects the brain. It consists of eight bones, including the frontal bone, the parietal bone and the occipital bone. These bones are strong and firmly connected to provide a stable and protected environment for the brain. They also provide a structural foundation for the shape of the face.
The viscerocranium comprises the facial bones and the jaw bones. It consists of 14 bones, including the zygomatic bones, the nasal bones and the lower jaw. These bones give the face its individual shape and serve as anchor points for the muscles of the mouth and eyes. They enable us to chew, speak and make facial expressions.
The base of the skull forms the bottom of the skull and separates the neurocranium from the cervical vertebrae. It consists of several bones, including the sphenoid bone and the ethmoid bone. The base of the skull protects vital structures such as the brain and the cranial nerves that pass through it. It also serves as a connection between the skull and the rest of the body.
Each part of the three-part skull has its own specific functions and anatomical structures. The neurocranium protects the brain and provides a stable base for the shape of the face. The viscerocranium gives the face its individual shape and enables us to chew and speak. The base of the skull protects the brain and connects the skull to the rest of the body. Together, these parts form the three-part skull and ensure the function and stability of the skull as a whole.
