Erler-Zimmer Biliary System Gallbladder Model (With Gallstones)

When studying human digestion and anatomy, the Erler-Zimmer Biliary System Gallbladder Model (With Gallstones) is a fantastic visual educational tool. This half-life-size model supports textbook study with its accurate and detailed structure, while also helping students to identify key areas where gallstones may develop. The model is particularly useful for medical students, for example those training to become doctors or surgeons.

What's Included?

• 1 x Biliary System Gallstone Model
• 1 x Attached Display Base

What Is the Function Of This Gallbladder Model?

The Erler-Zimmer Gallbladder Model is designed to function as a visual aid for enhancing the study of the biliary system. The biliary system works to drain waste products from the liver to the duodenum, making it an essential structure for digestion. Using this model, it is possible to help develop a better understanding of the gallbladder and digestive system in a more interactive manner.

This model depicts gallstones in areas where they are commonly found in the biliary system, enabling training on the typical locations of gallstones and their effect on the body.

Who Can Benefit From Use Of This Biliary System Anatomy Model?

Gallstones can be incredibly uncomfortable, and for some patients the pain can become unmanageable. As gallstones are quite a common condition, it's important for a range of medical and healthcare personnel to understand their development, general placement, and effect on the patient. Those who may benefit from study of the biliary system and gallstones using this model include:

• Gastroenterologists
• Surgeons
• Doctors and Nurses
• General Practitioners
• Medical Sales Representatives

Which Features Can I See On This Anatomical Model?

This anatomical model depicts essential parts of the biliary system, as well as the presence of gall stones in various areas. Identifiable features of this model include:

• Liver
• Hepatic duct
• Gall stones found in:
  • Spiral valve
  • Fundus of the gallbladder
  • Common bile duct
  • Papillary opening to small intestine
• Gall bladder
• Duodenum
• Portal vein
• Abdominal Aorta
