Nose And Olfactory Set

Two unbreakable plastic models on one hardwood base depict the nose and nasal passages enlarged to four times their normal size. A wonderful supplement to dissection because it depicts structures inaccessible in most dissections.

The model on the right depicts:

• Nasal septum
• Septal arteries and veins
• Inner group of olfactory nerve filaments
• Nasopalatine nerve
• Soft and hard palate
• Uvula and the cranial floor

The model on the left depicts:

• Left nostril
• Olfactory nerve bulb and filaments
• Spheno-palatine ganglion
• Communicating sinuses
• Arteries and veins
• Pharyngeal orifice of the Eustachian tube
• Nasal conchae 
• Turbinate bone and nasolacrimal canal
