Human Skin Series With Burn Pathologies

Three-dimensional and magnified 75 times, this series is really six models in one. The front face of the model compares and contrasts normal healthy skin from three different body regions: the palm or sole (totally hairless), the axilla or armpit (sparsely endowed with hair), the scalp (completely hirsute.)  The epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, as well as the glands, hair follicles, nerves and receptors are all sculpted in full relief with contrasting colors. 46 features are identified in the accompanying key.  

 

The back face shows the progressive severity of injury caused by burns - from the reddening and transitory damage of the first degree burn, to the blistering, often permanent damage of the second degree burn, to the deep charring and permanent tissue destruction of the third degree burn. Burn segments are fully labeled on model.
