INTESTINAL VILLI MODEL

This model consists of:

• An entire villus,
• One longitudinally sectioned villus showing the arterioles and venules and
• One sectioned villus to show the lymphatic vessels.
• The model also includes a longitudinal section of Lieberkühn’s crypt.

The intestinal villi model is much magnified, hereby enabling the students to study the anatomical details clearly.

The model helps to understand how the villi of the small intestine have a thin wall(about one cell thick), a large surface area, and a rich blood supply; making them specialized for absorption.

The model is provided on a base and numbered with an English key card.
