We purchased this model for the specific purpose of demonstrating the interconnectedness of the skull bones, especially those inside the face, and showing how an alteration of any one of these bones, such as through accident, will also alter the other bones of the skull through association. This product has done a remarkably good job in meeting the technical challenges of creating a model that can be taken apart and put back together without sacrificing the accuracy of the forms of the bones themselves. The individual parts of the skull, the individual bones, can be studied closely, as well as the skull as a whole unit. The product might be said to have an (unavoidable?) weakness: when removing just one bone, or set of bones, (for the purposes of demonstrating a particular construction of the skull) , the rest of the skull does not hold together very well with these bones missing. But the fact is it does hold together if handled carefully, and we have been able to use it very successfully to study interactions and interrelationships of deep internal skull structures. We've been so pleased with the potential educational value of this kind of model that we plan to purchase further models to expand on our study of the structures of the entire head and neck.
