Human Cervical Spine Anatomy Model with Nerves & Arteries
The Human Cervical Spine Anatomy Model illustrates the anatomical structure of the cervical spine, featuring all seven cervical vertebrae (C1–C7), including the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), along with the occipital bone at the base of the skull.
The model includes representations of intervertebral discs, cervical spinal nerve roots, and vertebral arteries, allowing students and healthcare professionals to examine the relationship between the cervical vertebrae and surrounding anatomical structures.
Designed for educational purposes, this anatomical model is suitable for medical schools, physiotherapy clinics, chiropractic practices, rehabilitation centers, and anatomy classrooms.
Anatomical Structures Displayed
- Cervical vertebrae (C1–C7): Seven vertebrae forming the cervical region of the spine
- Atlas (C1): First cervical vertebra supporting the skull
- Axis (C2): Second cervical vertebra involved in head rotation
- Occipital bone: Inferior portion of the skull connecting with the atlas
- Intervertebral discs: Structures positioned between cervical vertebral bodies from C2–C3 downward
- Cervical spinal nerves: Yellow-colored representations of nerves exiting the cervical spine
- Vertebral arteries: Red-colored vascular structures running along the cervical vertebrae
- Spinous and transverse processes: Bony projections of the cervical vertebrae
