Mayo Clinic Medical Models: Education, Science and Art in Wax » Figure 3 patient ed display

Figure 3. These models on display in the Patient Education Center exemplify the serial nature of many models in the collection. The model furthest to the left is a dermatological representation of a torso. As the series continues layers of muscle and organs are removed to reveal the inner-most parts of the abdominal cavity, helping patients to understand the nature and location of illnesses or procedures. The display also features large cut-away models of the ear and eye to illuminate even the smallest structures of the body.
