Model of Pancreas on Board – Anatomical Digestive System Teaching Model
The Model of Pancreas on Board is an educational relief teaching model engineered to demonstrate the retroperitoneal anatomy, ductal drainage network, and regional vascular relationships of the human pancreas. Cast in life-size relief from high-density, unbreakable medical PVC polymer and mounted securely on a finished demonstration baseboard, this model accurately represents both the exocrine digestive and endocrine hormonal roles of the pancreatic gland. It serves as an essential teaching benchmark across secondary school biology classrooms (SSC/HSC), university physiology departments, nursing academies, and medical colleges throughout Bangladesh.
Understanding pancreatic ductal mechanics, ampullary junction anatomy, and clinical conditions like pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, biliary obstruction, and diabetes can be challenging when relying solely on two-dimensional textbook sketches. This relief board model resolves that learning barrier by providing an open, interconnected view of the foregut-midgut digestive junction. The model delineates the anatomical divisions of the pancreas: the head nested snugly in the C-loop of the duodenum, the uncinate process, the constricted neck, the elongated body, and the tapered tail abutting the gastric surface of the spleen.
A prominent anatomical highlight is the longitudinal cutaway showing the pancreatic parenchyma. The main pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) and accessory pancreatic duct (duct of Santorini) are molded in distinct detail, demonstrating their convergence with the common bile duct emerging from the gallbladder and liver. The terminal insertion into the major duodenal papilla (ampulla of Vater) is clearly visible alongside mucosal folds (plicae circulares) of the dissected duodenum. Surrounding vascular landmarks, including the celiac trunk branches, splenic artery and vein, and superior mesenteric vessels, are depicted in vibrant physiological colors. Each critical landmark is marked with numbered identification callouts paired with an attached laminated reference key card. Victor Scientific Co. supplies high-grade anatomical and surgical teaching models nationwide with guaranteed quality and secure packaging.
✹ Key Features
Complete Pancreatobiliary Architecture
Displays the anatomical interplay between the pancreas, gallbladder, hepatic bile ducts, C-loop of the duodenum, and the spleen.
Detailed Internal Pancreatic Ductal System
Features an open cutaway revealing the main pancreatic duct (Wirsung), accessory duct (Santorini), and the hepatopancreatic ampulla of Vater.
Partially Dissected Duodenal Mucosa
The duodenum is opened along its anterior contour to showcase circular mucosal folds (plicae circulares) and the major duodenal papilla.
Integrated Vascular Anatomy
Depicts regional vascularization including the splenic artery (tortuous course), splenic vein, portal vein formation, and superior mesenteric vessels.
Durable Medical-Grade PVC Build
Cast from high-density, washable medical PVC plastic mounted on a finished wooden or heavy-duty polymer baseboard that resists tropical humidity.
Vibrant Anatomical Color Coding
Uses fade-resistant, non-toxic colors that clearly contrast the glandular pancreas (buff/orange), gallbladder and bile ducts (green), arteries (red), and veins (blue).
Numbered Demonstration Key Card
Features clear numerical callouts stamped beside each anatomical structure corresponding to an included laminated reference legend for spot tests.
Wall-Mountable and Benchtop-Ready
Designed with a balanced footprint suitable for demonstration easels or secure wall hanging in school science, nursing, and medical laboratories.
