3B Scientific A22/1 Classic Skull wt opened lower Jawpainted3- - 3B Smart Anatomy

I purchased this recently to supplement my neuroanatomy studying. I am a med student, and there are a lot of different structures and landmarks that I need to be able to identify. (A considerable amount more than I needed to know in undergraduate A&P courses.) This model is great! High quality. Even looks great sitting on a desk. It is wonderful for tactile learners such as myself. It is a nice supplement for those that are learning from books like Netters. Is it as good as the real thing... maybe not. If there are obscure landmarks missing or perhaps off by a mm or two... well I see that MUCH more with real skulls in lab. In short, for the money, this model is outstanding. High quality, low(ish) price, and money better spent on it, than another text book (besides that's what the internet is for.)

Has to be the most accurate representation of a scull I have seen, second only to the real thing! I have been an anatomy TA at 2 schools each having a plethora of skulls, this is by far the most detailed.Had to buy a model to study during covid but if future schools are looking for a great advanced anatomy model this one would be worth the price.

I own a couple of these for my educational outreach, and this is easily the best one for the money. The transparent skull makes the brain visible at all times, and it is very sturdy. The skull opens nicely, and the brain inside is easy to remove and replace. I have let kids as young as 6 play with it (supervised) without worry. The anatomy is also well done.

My original review was 1 star because the calvaria did not fit on the cranial base at all, but I received my replacement within 3 days and the new one is perfect. It's an excellent skull with helpful labels. It's accurate to the point where even small grooves and processes too small to label are still replicated. Sutures and grooves for meningeal vessels are all clearly visible. Excellent medical education resource.

This is an expensive product. Ordered it a while ago but didn't get to open the box until today. Pieces shattered everywhere. Tried to contact seller and says that my return window closed. Now I own a perfectly good for nothing anatomical skull.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this as an aid for life drawing/anatomy.The college I've attended has real skulls so I've had a chance to study the real thing and this one seems to be fairly accurate and has enough detail for my needs.For example, there are representations of the sutures around the skull.The jaw is removable and the teeth seem fairly realistic.Inside the eye sockets is the only area where the details are off. The "channels" in the sockets are uniform and not at all accurate when compared with a real skull. On the other hand, I looked at much more expensive (2.5 times more) "museum quality" skull models and they seemed to have the same issue.I might take a rotary tool to school and carve these channels to make them appear more accurate.Otherwise the skull feels sturdy and well constructed.This skull was an affordable option for me and I'm glad to have it.

I'm using this for my A&P course and A&P lab this semester and will most likely use it again for A&P 2 and A&P 2 lab next term. We have these exact ones in the classroom and I found them very helpful in learning the bones, markings, sutures, and all parts of the skull, I decided to get one simply because the classroom isn't open 24/7 and it helps to see the structures in person and up close, plus I'm sure the professor will use this model for the test. Anyways, if you are in A&P and need to have a physical representation of the skull to learn the markings and the whole nine yards, this is the best you'll get for this price.

I am always looking to decorate my apartment with cool looking stuff, and being that I am into a bit more of the "morbid" side of decorating this fit right in. It's really a great piece, I am very impressed. It has moving parts, such as the jaw, and the top of the skull. You could even store small objects in the skull if you'd like it, there is room for it.I have seen many skulls in my life, from cheaply made plastic skulls you can buy in toy stores, to really expensive medical skulls, and this particular skull feels, and looks, more like the really expensive ones.If you plan to throw it around and play with it a lot, I can't verify the reliability, but as a decorating piece, this is really cool.
