Description
Full-color models clarify the functions of male and female reproductive
systems. This master set includes all nine Human Reproductive System
Model Activity Sets: Menstrual Cycle, Male Reproductive System, Female
Reproductive System, Meiosis, Mitosis, Cell to Embryo, Four-Month Fetus,
Full-term Fetus, and Birth Model.
Each model activity set consists of a markable model of durable vinyl
and an activity guide which includes background information, basic
understandings, activities, a glossary, and a key to model structures.
Also included are color transparencies and a black line master in a
three ring binder. Each model measure 24†W X 18†H.
Menstrual Cycle Model Activity Set illustrates the
menstrual cycle, depicting the four states of the average 28-day cycle.
Two magnified ovaries show ovum development.
Male Reproductive System Model Activity Set discusses
topics such as prostate cancer, vasectomies, and sterility with this
colorful model. It depicts all the male reproductive organs in
relationship to one another as well as a greatly magnified sectioned
sperm.
Female Reproductive System Model Activity Set details
lateral relief section of the lower female torso to show partially
sectioned organs and a magnified, cross-sectioned ovum. Model
illustrates the internal body structure and is useful as a graphic aid
in discussion women’s health issues and pregnancy.
Meiosis Model Activity Set explains individual human
characteristics and genetic differences with this 3-D model.
Visualization and understanding of meiotic cell division, as it relates
to the transmission of specific traits from each parent are promoted
through enlarged view of chromosomes, cytoplasm, chromatic and polar
bodies.
Mitosis Model Activity Set illustrates somatic cell
division with this informative model. Enlarged view details the five
phases of mitosis. Many structures are easily identified, including
cytoplasm nucleus, nucleolus, chromatic threads, centrioles, aster,
spindle, chromosomes and centromere.
Cell to Embryo Model Activity Set discusses the
development of the egg from fertilization to a 35 day old embryo. The
enhanced 3-D illustrates the ovum, ovulation, fertilization, initial
cell division, and implantation.
Four-Month Fetus Model Activity Set is a realistic life
size model of the embryo/fetus at 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 weeks. These
are sequenced next to the 16 week fetus with a model of the womb.
Because this model illustrates the size, physical features, and position
of the embryo/fetus, it can be used as a graphic instruction aid for
reproduction topics.
Full-Term Fetus Model Activity Set indicates a healthy
full-term fetus and can be discussed with the aid of this anatomical
model. Illustrated in graphic detail is a life-size fetus in normal
pre-birth position. Study is enhanced through use of a removable
transparent covering depicting the amnion and a magnified inset of the
placental wall and umbilical cord.
Birth Model Activity Set depicts the mystery of birth
with illustrations of a normal fetal birth position. The placenta,
umbilical cord, cervix, and vagina are clearly visible, as are the
"doctor's hands" that assist delivery of the baby.
