Skull with cervical vertebrae model

The skull with cervical vertebrae model is a common anatomical tool in medical teaching and clinical research. It is usually made of simulated materials, with a realistic shape, including a complete human skull structure and the arrangement of cervical vertebrae C1 to C7. Through this model, learners can visually observe the connection mode between the skull and the cervical vertebrae, understand the special movement characteristics of the atlantoaxial joint, as well as the mechanical relationship of the head during rotation, flexion and extension.

In medical education, such models are often used for demonstrations in courses like neuroanatomy, stomatology, and spinal surgery. Students can clearly see the location of the cranial base foramen, master the course of cranial nerves, and also learn the connection between cervical spondylosis and cranial nerve symptoms. For clinicians, it is helpful for surgical path planning and pathological analysis.

In addition, the skull with cervical spine model is also commonly seen in rehabilitation and physical therapy training, used to explain the mechanical load and posture correction of the cervical spine. It is not only an intuitive carrier for teaching, but also a bridge connecting theory and practice. Through the demonstration of the model, abstract anatomical knowledge has been visualized, greatly enhancing the learning efficiency.
