6 times life-size and dissectible into eight parts, this
unbreakable vinyl eyeball sits in its bony socket to provide a better understanding of its
relationship with major blood vessels, muscles and nerves.
All six muscles of
movement can be seen and the upper half of the eyeball with its lacrimal (tear) gland
lifts off. Present and extractable are the superior and lateral rectus muscles, the
iris and cornea, which can be removed as a unit, the Lucite lens, which actually magnifies
and inverts images, and the transparent vitreous body, which exposes the fovea centralis
on the retina. The choroid coat, retina, and optic disk can also be seen, as well as
a schematic cross-section through retinal layers.
77 hand-numbered features are
identified in the accompanying key. Also included is a reproducible blackline copy
master with numbered parts that correspond to the model, making it easy to print
illustrated study sheets. Answer key is on reverse. Overall dimensions are 12
x 10 x 9 inches (30 x 25 x 23 cm).
Manufactured in the U.S.A. by Denoyer-Geppert.
