Description

Schematic model of the inner ear that prints flat to about the size of a credit card. The pieces are broken apart to allow constructing a simple, larger-than-life size model of the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals of the human inner ear. The inner ear rests on a base for display that has a slot for a small instructional booklet, also included. This model allows a kinestetic learning experience in the study of the anatomy of the inner ear, and is used in my gross anatomy of speech and hearing systems class.
