Review on 🦴 LYOU Miniature Spine Anatomy Model with Spinal Nerves, Pelvis, Femur - 15.5" Vertebral Column Model on Base by Justin Zilinskas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Decent spine model, with some inaccuracies

This spine model leaves something to be desired. It is 15.5 inches tall and very light. Although this is a representative model of the spine in terms of anatomical accuracy, the materials here are mediocre and not of very high quality. The spinal nerves emerging from the vertebral foramina lie well below the cervical spine. There is an atlas and axis (C1 to C2), but they are motionless and fixed in place, which is not an accurate representation of a true atlas and axis. It's a weak model overall, although I reckon it has a foundation. This is a good model for a general view of the skeleton, but the sacral nerves look odd at best. I don't understand why the sacral nerves come in and out. The cauda equina nerve bundle is absent. The discs appear normal, although they protrude slightly anteriorly for no particular reason. In most cases, the vertebral artery enters at C6, but in this model it enters at C7, which occurs less than 10% of the time. Population. Above the cervical spine you can see a bit of the basilar artery, which empties into the posterior cerebral arteries, with some of the bridging arteries. Overall, this is a decent model of the spine for a basic skeletal view, but not good enough for a detailed study of the spine due to some inaccuracies.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
