Functioning Torso
This 3-ft. functioning torso model provides a
type of “hands-on” learning experience not
available with traditional models. The torso
cavity houses models of five functioning
body systems:
The Digestive System. Develops
ideas about the passage of food.
By manipulating the stomach
model and listening to the
sounds, students make observations
about stomach action,
digestive juices, and what happens
to undigested food.
The Circulatory System.
Includes a flexible heart that,
when squeezed, pumps “blood” through
tubes which simulate arteries and veins, allowing
students to associate heart action and pulse.
The Breathing System. Clearly demonstrates, through
manipulation of the “diaphragm,” the movement of air in
and out of the lungs.
The Urinary System. Shows the passage of blood into and out of the kidneys where liquid
wastes are removed and how the wastes are disposed of through the urinary tract.
The Nervous System. An ingenious demonstration of sensory response (touch, taste,
smell, sight, hearing) to stimuli. As appropriate stimulation is provided, response is
indicated by a small light flashing on in the brain. A comprehensive, illustrated 76-page
teacher’s guide provides teaching strategies and step-by-step procedures. Grades 3—9.
