Product details
The Atlas and Axis with Occipital Plate Model (MG20268U) is a detailed anatomical teaching tool designed to illustrate the unique structure and function of the upper cervical spine. This model accurately represents the atlas (C1), axis (C2), and occipital plate, providing a clear view of how the skull connects to the spine.
Carefully crafted to highlight key anatomical features—including the vertebral bodies, odontoid process (dens), and articulation points—this model helps demonstrate the mechanics of head movement such as rotation, flexion, and extension. It is especially useful for understanding the role of the atlas and axis in supporting the skull and enabling a wide range of motion.
The model’s realistic design allows educators, students, and healthcare professionals to clearly visualize the relationships between the skull base and upper cervical vertebrae. It is an effective tool for explaining injuries, alignment issues, and conditions affecting the cervical spine.
Constructed from durable, high-quality materials, the model is built for repeated use in classrooms, clinics, and training environments while maintaining anatomical accuracy and clarity.
Key Features:
- Displays atlas (C1), axis (C2), and occipital plate
- Highlights key structures including the dens and articulation points
- Demonstrates head and neck movement mechanics
- Ideal for teaching cervical spine anatomy
- Realistic anatomical detailing
- Durable construction for long-term use
Applications:
- Medical and nursing education
- Orthopedic and spine training
- Patient consultation and demonstration
- Clinical teaching environments
Atlas and Axis with Occipital Plate Model
A life-size model it is a detailed reproduction in life-size of the atlas vertebrae axis and the occipital bone this model shows the action of the rotation of the head and the articulation with the skull. Accompanying an interactive 3D anatomical model with augmented reality is a great tool to encourage learning and support. This platform allows students to engage in comparative analysis of anatomical models as they compare and contrast the structure of individual organs. This initiative also provides a platform for continuing education providing opportunities for all students to increase their knowledge of anatomy physiology and pathophysiology.
