Human Skeleton "Shorty" with Painted Muscles
Shorty from 3B Scientific (1000044, A18/5) is a miniature human skeleton reproduced at half natural size (80 cm) while keeping the anatomical detail of a full-size model. It stands about 94 cm tall on its pelvic-mounted base and weighs around 2.7 kg. On the left half of the skeleton, muscle origins are painted in red and insertions in blue, helping students link bones with the muscles that move them. The arms and legs can be removed for closer study, the skull separates into skullcap, base of skull and mandible, and the hip joints are mounted to show their natural rotation. The skeleton can also be taken off its base. Its compact size makes it practical for desks and smaller classrooms in biology and physical education lessons. The model includes access to the 3B Smart Anatomy app and a five-year warranty.
