Skulls, individuals bones, skeletons, and other anatomical models are available at the Public Services Desk for checkout by current OSU students, faculty, and staff.
The following process is in place for bones and models:
Requests to use bones and models outside of the library can be made for educational events, not for personal use. These requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please review to the Bones and Models Policy for Outside Library Use before submitting the Request Form.
Plastic brain model. Brain separates into five parts.
![Brain with Arterial Blood Supply [life size]](https://libapps.s3.amazonaws.com/customers/2555/images/Brain_with_Arterial_Blood.jpg)
The life-sized model shows a representation of the arterial network of vessels. Separates into five parts.
The plastic 9" brainstem model includes a ventral and dorsal-view diagram labeling all parts of the brainstem.
This three-part replica exposes the entire length of the ear canal and Eustachian tube to demonstrate how soundwaves entering the ear can easily be traced and how air pressure on both sides of the eardrum is equalized. The hammer, anvil, transparent eardrum, and the labyrinth all lift out for hands-on study.
![Eye [5 pc]](https://libapps.s3.amazonaws.com/customers/2555/images/Eye__5pc_.jpg)
Large eyeball model that separates into five pieces. Hand-painted with labeled details of the muscles, lacrimal gland, nerves, and the inside of the eye, including parts of the retina.
![Eye [7pc]](https://libapps.s3.amazonaws.com/customers/2555/images/Eye__7pc_.jpg)
This large anatomical human eye model shows the optic nerve in its natural position in the bony orbit of the eye (floor and medial wall).
Shows the internal and external female genital organs. The internal organs can be removed from the pelvic floor. The model separates into four parts.
The life-size model consists of the hip bone, sacrum with coccyx, and two lumbar vertebrae as well as a movable symphysis.
Plastic articulated foot model.
Male skeleton model with numbered bones and ligaments. The points of origin and attachment of the most important muscles from head to foot are marked in color.
Plastic articulated bones of the hand.
The heart model sits on a base and features doors that swing open to reveal inner components.
![Heart [2pc]](https://libapps.s3.amazonaws.com/customers/2555/images/Heart__2pc_.jpg)
This 3/4-size heart model shows the ventricles, atria, veins, and aorta in precise detail. The front heart wall detaches to reveal its inner valves and chambers.
Five models are representative of the types of human adult teeth individually mounted on removable stands. Includes two-part lower incisor with longitudinal section, a two-part lower canine with longitudinal section, a lower single-root pre-molar, two-part lower twin-root molar with longitudinal section showing caries attack, and three-part upper triple-root molar with longitudinal section and caries insert.
This series shows the most important stages of development of an embryo or fetus. All five models are mounted together on a base. Includes first-month embryo, second-month embryo, third-month embryo, fifth-month fetus (breech position), and seventh-month fetus.
This enlarged model shows tissue of the kidney partially removed at the back, open pelvis, pyramids in relief and shown in one section, as are the cortical and adipose tissue.
The enlarged model contains a median section that separates into two parts. Removable parts include the right thyroid cartilage, the cricothyroid muscle, and the thyrohyoid muscle. The model also includes the inner and outer muscles of the larynx, the relief of mucous membrane, a network of arteries and nerves, and the cartilaginous skeleton.
Left lower limb bone model consisting of femur, tibia, fibula, patella, and an articulated foot. Models may vary from picture.
Plastic disarticulated bones of the lower limb. Includes ilium, femur, tibia, fibula, and patella.
![Articulated Lower Limb [1/2 Pelvis]](https://libapps.s3.amazonaws.com/customers/2555/images/Left_Lower_Limb__with_hip_.jpg)
Includes ilium, femur, tibia, fibula, and foot/ankle bones.
This 3/4 size model shows the viscera of the thorax and divides the lungs, heart, and larynx in half. Shows bifurcation of the trachea and esophageal hiatus with aortic hiatus in the diaphragm. The model separates into seven parts.
Separates into three pieces. Includes colored details of the penis, spermatic cord, testes, and epididymis.
The model shows one-half of male genital organs at the normal position including the bladder. The model is base-mounted and shows the median section.
Plastic disarticulated bones of the midsection. Includes vertebrae and ribs.
![Muscular figure [1/3 life-size]](https://libapps.s3.amazonaws.com/customers/2555/images/Muscular_Figure.jpg)
1/3 life-size two-part muscular figure. All superficial muscles of the human form are accurately reproduced in lifelike colors. The chest plate is removable to reveal the internal organs, and the right side contains a female mammary gland. There are 125 hand-numbered and identified structures of the human anatomy on this muscular figure.
The full-size model shows pancreatic cancer, gallbladder with stones, a ruptured spleen, and duodenal ulcer.
Our premier plastic skull model with painted and numbered muscle attachments, bisected with removable top and spring-loaded jaw with removable teeth. A portion of the right mandible opens to reveal the roots of two premolars, two molars, and an impacted wisdom tooth.
Plastic sacrum bone.
The model shows the shoulder joint and, in addition to the individual muscles of the rotator cuff, the bone origins and insertions of all shoulder muscles.
Life-sized shoulder bone model.
Plastic skull model. The model may vary from image.
This life-size spine model includes a full male pelvis and occipital plate, fully flexible mounting throughout the spine, L3-L4 disc prolapsed on the spine, spinal nerve exits, and cervical vertebral artery.
This tongue model is 2.5 times life-size with four removable parts. It shows the lower jaw up to the second molar, the tongue with mouth floor musculature in the median section, and the right sublingual and submandibular gland.
Right upper limb plastic bone model consisting of articulated hand, radius, ulna, and humerus. The model may vary from picture.
Plastic disarticulated bones of the upper limb. Includes scapula, clavicle, humerus, radius, and ulna.
