The Thin Man Sequential Human Anatomy Figure

Lets you explore body regions layer-by-layer for in-depth understanding.

Detailing human anatomy in a way no chart or torso can duplicate, the Thin Man is a near life-size full-color rendition of the human body which by means of a sequence of transparent mylar overlays, allows the peeling away of layer after layer of tissue, progressing ever more deeply into the body. This provides extremely valuable insight into the 3-dimensional spatial relationships of principal structures, major vessels and organ systems.

Displayed on the back side of the Thin Man is a full-figure view of the skeletal and nervous systems.

Highlighted at each level of the sequential dissection are the following features:

• 1st layer: Musculature of the head, neck, thorax and abdomen, (superficial muscles on the right side of the figure; deeper muscles and ribs on the left.) 30 structures keyed and labeled.


• 2nd layer: Brain, thyroid and salivary glands, eye, tongue, teeth, heart and major vessels, lungs, stomach, liver and intestines. 44 structures keyed and labeled.


• 3rd layer:Sinuses, nasal septum, tongue, trachea, heart chambers and vessels, pancreas, spleen, large intestine. 58 structures keyed and labeled.


• 4th layer: Esophagus, pleura, aorta, inferior vena cava, intercostal vessels and nerves, autonomic nerve trunk, kidneys and adrenal glands. 27 structures keyed and labeled.


• 5th layer (full figure):Brain, pharynx, vertebral column, rib cage, muscles of upper and lower extremities, pelvic organs and muscles. 77 structures keyed and labeled.
