| LOBULE OF THE LUNG WITH ADDITIONAL MODEL PULMONARY ALVEOLI
(2926) |
| A beautifully detailed depiction of the structures involved in gaseous exchange, the model clearly shows the alveolar epithelium, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is give off, as well as the alveoli, intact and sectioned, to reveal the capillary network. Arteries and veins are displayed with both bronchioles connecting to alveolar ducts, color-coded elastic fibers, smooth muscle, mucous membranes, and cartilage. The back of the model diagrams the circulation within the lobule and the pleura. The model is mounted on a stand and can be removed for closer examination. |
