Product Description

Educational-use note: anatomy teaching model — educational equipment, not a medical device or a pharmaceutical product and contains no medicinal ingredients (manufacturer's page notice). Confirm material, base type and replacement-part availability with the specification sheet.

1. Why a Dual-Gender Torso Earns Its Place in the Anatomy Lab

Human anatomy teaching faces a practical problem: real cadavers are scarce, costly and increasingly restricted, so most programs rely on models and atlases. The evidence favors the physical three-dimensional route. In a randomized controlled trial, students taught with physical 3D anatomical models scored significantly higher than peers taught with traditional two-dimensional aids (Chen et al., 2017), and meta-analytic reviews confirm that physical models raise examination performance in anatomy education (Fleming et al., 2020).

The ADA-208 goes one step beyond a standard trunk model. Because it carries both the male and female reproductive systems — plus a fetus in the female set — one unit covers male anatomy, female anatomy and early human development. That design matters for course structure: instead of buying, storing and switching between separate male and female torsos, a single unisex model supports a full semester of systems-based teaching (organ systems, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, reproductive anatomy, embryology demonstration).

2. Evidence: Physical Models Work in Anatomy Education

3. What the 40 Parts Cover

The ADA-208 is described by the manufacturer as: unisex torso including 40 parts — torso, female breast plate, head, eyeball, brain (8 parts), vertebra spinal nerves (4 parts), lung (4 parts), heart (2 parts), trachea, esophagus and descending aorta, diaphragm, liver, kidney, stomach (2 parts), intestines (4 parts), male genitalia (4 parts), female genitalia with fetus (3 parts). Size: 85 cm.

Each part is removable for individual examination — students can hold the heart, trace the intestinal tract, or compare the two genital sets side by side, then reassemble the whole trunk.

4. Where the ADA-208 Sits in the ADA Torso Line

Buying logic: choose ADA-208 when a course must cover male and female reproductive anatomy plus a full organ-system torso in one unit — 85 cm presentation size suits classroom demonstration and lab stations; the 40-part dissection depth suits systems-based curricula.

5. Teaching Protocols

Practical teaching tips

● Use the 8-part brain and 4-part lung during neuro/respiratory lectures; keep the genital sets for reproductive-system weeks.

● Because one model covers both sexes, schedule male/female anatomy in consecutive sessions without changing equipment.

7. FAQ

Q1: Is the ADA-208 life-size? A: The torso is 85 cm tall — a compact full-trunk scale widely used in classrooms. It is not full adult height; organs and relationships are anatomically proportioned for study.

Q2: Does it really include both male and female genitalia? A: Yes. The 40-part set includes male genitalia (4 parts) and female genitalia with fetus (3 parts), plus a female breast plate — the defining feature of this unisex model.

Q3: How is it different from the ADA-206 (85 cm, 20 parts)? A: ADA-206 is a sexless 20-part torso without the dual-gender reproductive sets. ADA-208 adds the male/female genitalia, fetus, brain (8), lung (4) and more — 40 parts total for complete systems teaching.

Q4: What is the model made of? A: It is a durable teaching-grade PVC-style anatomical model on a plastic base. Confirm exact material composition and replacement-part availability with the specification sheet before ordering.

Q5: What is the MOQ and price? A: Price is on request. MOQ is 1 unit. Email chinoncpr@adaanatomy.com. for the current quotation, catalog and specification sheet.

Q6: What are the shipping options? A: Air freight 7–10 business days; sea freight 30–45 days. Contact chinoncpr@adaanatomy.com. for the best option for your order size.
