Because the skeleton is articulated and held upright by its rod, a teacher can stand beside it and point out the skull, rib cage, vertebral column, pelvis and the long bones of the arms and legs in their natural positions. It suits lessons on the axial and appendicular skeleton, on the difference between ball-and-socket, hinge and pivot joints, and on how posture and proportion relate to the bones underneath. Students preparing for practical examinations can take turns identifying bones by sight and touch, which is more memorable than working from a chart alone.
The casters let one person wheel the model from a storeroom to the front of a classroom or between laboratories; move it by holding the stand and rod rather than pulling on a limb, and roll it slowly over thresholds. As one of the core biology teaching aids for secondary schools, colleges and allied-health institutes, a rod-supported skeleton is usually kept on permanent display in the biology or anatomy room.
The company that trades as ScienceLab, Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Human Skeleton, Rod-Supported and produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.
Because the skeleton, rod and castor stand all come from the maker, schools and dealers can ask us directly about spare parts or a matching second skeleton for another room. Background on the company is available on the ScienceLab company profile.
