About 3D Models at the HSL
Borrowing Policy
- Models may not leave the Health Sciences Library (HSL).
- Models are available in the HSL's Open Course Reserves on a first come, first served basis.
- Return the model to its shelf after two hours to allow other users a chance to learn from them as well.
Location
The HSL's 3D anatomy models are located in front of Course Reserves (map of the HSL's third floor [JPG]).
All 3D Models at the HSL
Models on this page are organized into two categories: Bone & Skeleton Models or Organ Models (organ models are further grouped by Head and Neck, Trunk, and Extremities and Limbs). View 3D models in the UW Libraries Search:

Organ Models
Head and Neck

- Larynx with tongueFive piece model of the human larynx, tongue, and lower jaw on a detachable base. The front of the lower jaw is detachable and separates into 2 parts.
- Skull with muscle attachments4-part Skull on Cervical Spine, hand painted muscle origins in red and insertions in blue on the right side and larger muscles have their name hand lettered in place, smaller muscles are numbered and significant features numbered on the left. Flexibly articulated in its natural position atop the cervical spine which is mounted on a hard wood base. All seven cervical vertebrae, paired spinal nerves, vertebral arteries, medulla and spinal cord are present.

There are 5 interchangable pelvic inserts. You can change the gender from male to female, or make it genderless. It shows the non-pregnant female conditon, or demonstrates pregenancy in the 1st-or 3rd trimesters. This torso gives you 5 ways to configure the same model.
