Life-size Five-part Digestive System replicates the entire alimentary tract from mouth to anus, including:

1. Detachable lower jaw half, complete with teeth, muscles of mastication and salivary glands
2. Dissected pancreas exposing the pancreatic and common bile ducts
3. Duodenum sectioned open to reveal the hepato-pancreatic ampulla and the entrance of the accessory pancreatic duct
4. Dissection of the terminal portion of the ileum and cecum showing the ileo-cecal valve and the orifice of the vermiform appendix
5. Section through the rectum, anal canal and anus to reveal the anal columns and anal sphincter

The liver and 2-part stomach also detach to ease in observation. Features are number coded for identification in the accompanying key, and the model is mounted on a hardwood base.
