This schematic model was developed to help first year health science students understand the relationships between sarcomeres, myofibrils, sarcolemma, T-tubules, and sarcoplasmic reticulum, as well as muscle cell nuclei and the collagen which makes up tendon. The students realise that the structure of a skeletal muscle fibre is simpler than they imagine from looking at textbooks and easier to remember.

= Production Information =
The model is based around 56 standard 330ml beverage cans. Quite a lot of muscle power used to empty all of them!

<gallery mode= "nolines" widths=650px heights=500px>
CansInARow.jpeg|
</gallery>

Most of the cans were wired together into rows of eight, using galvanised 14-gauge wire (e.g., a 20-meter roll), and custom-made washers cut from 0.5mm thick aluminium sheeting (e.g., a piece 300mm x 900mm). The last set of eight cans was divided into a single can and a set of three and a set of four. The sets of three and four were wired together in the same way as the others.

Tools useful for the above steps include tin snips, drill, cutting pliers, miscellaneous other pliers for twisting a knot in the ends of the wire, pen, a point punch, and hammer.

Once wired up, all the cans were spray painted a solid (e.g., pink) colour. This required quite a lot of specialised paint (metal primer and topcoat) and may be optional depending on how opaque the lace fabric used for sarcoplasmic reticulum is.

The single can was also wrapped with paper printed with the following image of actin and myosin filaments. Printing size was adjusted to suit the length of the can.

</gallery>

== Production Information ==
This model is built to fit inside a 26 litre flexible bucket (also known as flexitub). The anterior edge of the bucket is cut lower to give an idea of the anterior pelvic brim and a hot tool used to create openings for the anus, vagina, urethra and external inguinal canals. The hot tool is also used to mark out labia, clitoris and the perineal triangles.

<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
FemPeritoneum_Step17.jpg|
FemPeritoneum_Step18.jpg|
</gallery>

The fabric parts of the model are made from tulle (aka fine bridal netting), coloured fabrics (pink for uterus, yellow for bladder and ureters, brown for rectum, white for ovaries, red for arteries) and string for the ovarian and round ligaments. The organs are stuffed with wadding and the whole assembly held in place with nylon fishing line.

As the construction of the tulle peritoneum is complicated some of the important steps are illustrated below:

Click to enlarge images
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
FemPeritoneum_Step01.jpg|1. Join the two parts of the broad ligament to each other and then to the uterine peritoneum.
FemPeritoneum_Step02.jpg|2. Stitch through the anterior broad ligament to create the mesosalpinx. Note that an opening is left for the fimbriae of the uterine tubes.
FemPeritoneum_Step03.jpg|3. Wider view of step 2.
FemPeritoneum_Step04.jpg|4. Preparing to sew on the two parts of the peritoneal base.
FemPeritoneum_Step05.jpg|5. Note the wrinkle of fabric that will become the ureteric fold.
FemPeritoneum_Step06.jpg|6. Join the peritoneal base to the uterine peritoneum/broad ligament.
FemPeritoneum_Step07.jpg|7. The position of the parietal peritoneum within the bucket. Sew the bladder peritoneum between the ends of the main parietal peritoneum. Note red thread marks for where the broad ligament will attach to the parietal peritoneum.
FemPeritoneum_Step08.jpg|8. The 4 layers of the peritoneal base ligaments are sewn together.
FemPeritoneum_Step09.jpg|9. Anterior and posterior parts of the peritoneal base are sewn separately to the base ligaments. Note that there is a gap of about 1cm between the anterior and posterior parts of the broad ligament as they rise up from the peritoneal base. Sew down the ureteric folds.
FemPeritoneum_Step10.jpg|10. Sew the long curved edge of the pararectal fossa peritoneum to the posterior part of the peritoneal base.
FemPeritoneum_Step11.jpg|11. Gather and sew the main parietal peritoneum to the remaining edges of the pararectal fossa to create a pocket. The organs can be positioned inside their relevant cavities. Note hand in rectouterine pouch (pouch of Douglas)..
FemPeritoneum_Step12.jpg|12. Sew the numbered marks on the edge of the broad ligament to corresponding marks on the parietal peritoneum. Make small holes in the tulle for the exits of the round ligament, uterine artery and ovarian artery.
FemPeritoneum_Step13.jpg|13. Note how the ureter passes under the uterine artery.
FemPeritoneum_Step14.jpg|14. Sew additional lines of stitching to delineate the mesovarium and mesosalpinx from the mesometrium.
FemPeritoneum_Step15.jpg|15. The fold of peritoneum that covers the round ligament is exaggerated in this model compared to life.
FemPeritoneum_Step16.jpg|16. Sew the organs together and sew the completed peritoneum to the organs.
FemPeritoneum_Step17.jpg|17. Melt pairs of small holes through the bucket at appropriate points so that fishing line can be used to tie the peritoneum in place within the bucket.

A skirt to demonstrate to first year health science students the hormones (luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, oestrogens, inhibin and progesterone) and endometrial/ovarian tissue changes that occur through the human menstrual cycle. The developing follicles and corpus luteum stages are separate pieces which attach using Velcro. The skirt is sized to be worn by most people and is fitted with a drawstring waist.

Velcro was sewn to the skirt and back surface of the follicles/corpora lutea. The two parts of each follicle/corpus luteum were sewn with right sides together (leaving a small opening), turned and finished. The black rayon pieces were cut and sewn into a yoke with drawstring belt. The tulle was cut out and all three parts (main skirt, tulle, yoke) were sewn together.

Female Pelvic Peritoneum (in a bucket)

2020-11-06T00:53:29Z

This schematic model was developed to help third year medical students understand the relationships between the parts of the peritoneum of the female pelvis. The model shows organs, ligaments and peritoneum within the lesser or true pelvis i.e. only from the pelvic inlet down.

Click to enlarge images:
<gallery mode= widths=650px heights=500px>
FemPeritoneum_Complete1.jpg|
</gallery>
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=300px heights=250px>
FemPeritoneum_Complete2.jpg|
FemPeritoneum_Complete3.jpg|
</gallery>

== Production Information ==
This model is built to fit inside a 26 litre flexible bucket (also known as flexitub). The anterior edge of the bucket is cut lower to give an idea of the anterior pelvic brim and a hot tool used to create openings for the anus, vagina, urethra and external inguinal canals. The hot tool is also used to mark out labia, clitoris and the perineal triangles.

<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
FemPeritoneum_Step17.jpg|
FemPeritoneum_Step18.jpg|
</gallery>

The fabric parts of the model are made from tulle (aka fine bridal netting), coloured fabrics (pink for uterus, yellow for bladder and ureters, brown for rectum, white for ovaries, red for arteries) and string for the ovarian and round ligaments. The organs are stuffed with wadding and the whole assembly held in place with nylon fishing line.

'''The pattern pieces''' (background grid is 100mm x 100mm):

As the construction of the tulle peritoneum is complicated some of the important steps are illustrated below:

Click to enlarge images
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
FemPeritoneum_Step01.jpg|1. Join the two parts of the broad ligament to each other and then to the uterine peritoneum.
FemPeritoneum_Step02.jpg|2. Stitch through the anterior broad ligament to create the mesosalpinx. Note that an opening is left for the fimbriae of the uterine tubes.
FemPeritoneum_Step03.jpg|3. Wider view of step 2.
FemPeritoneum_Step04.jpg|4. Preparing to sew on the two parts of the peritoneal base.
FemPeritoneum_Step05.jpg|5. Note the wrinkle of fabric that will become the ureteric fold.
FemPeritoneum_Step06.jpg|6. Join the peritoneal base to the uterine peritoneum/broad ligament.
FemPeritoneum_Step07.jpg|7. The position of the parietal peritoneum within the bucket. Sew the bladder peritoneum between the ends of the main parietal peritoneum. Note red thread marks for where the broad ligament will attach to the parietal peritoneum.
FemPeritoneum_Step08.jpg|8. The 4 layers of the peritoneal base ligaments are sewn together.
FemPeritoneum_Step09.jpg|9. Anterior and posterior parts of the peritoneal base are sewn separately to the base ligaments. Note that there is a gap of about 1cm between the anterior and posterior parts of the broad ligament as they rise up from the peritoneal base. Sew down the ureteric folds.
FemPeritoneum_Step10.jpg|10. Sew the long curved edge of the pararectal fossa peritoneum to the posterior part of the peritoneal base.
FemPeritoneum_Step11.jpg|11. Gather and sew the main parietal peritoneum to the remaining edges of the pararectal fossa to create a pocket. The organs can be positioned inside their relevant cavities. Note hand in rectouterine pouch (pouch of Douglas)..
FemPeritoneum_Step12.jpg|12. Sew the numbered marks on the edge of the broad ligament to corresponding marks on the parietal peritoneum. Make small holes in the tulle for the exits of the round ligament, uterine artery and ovarian artery.
FemPeritoneum_Step13.jpg|13. Note how the ureter passes under the uterine artery.
FemPeritoneum_Step14.jpg|14. Sew additional lines of stitching to delineate the mesovarium and mesosalpinx from the mesometrium.
FemPeritoneum_Step15.jpg|15. The fold of peritoneum that covers the round ligament is exaggerated in this model compared to life.
FemPeritoneum_Step16.jpg|16. Sew the organs together and sew the completed peritoneum to the organs.
FemPeritoneum_Step17.jpg|17. Melt pairs of small holes through the bucket at appropriate points so that fishing line can be used to tie the peritoneum in place within the bucket.

How to Wrap a Uterus

2020-11-05T01:38:40Z

Neufi03p:

A performance piece which makes the location of the ovaries in relation to the uterus, bladder and rectum hard to forget. Designed for audience participation in a large lecture theatre situation the completed assemblage makes the peritoneal folds that wrap the organs in this part of the pelvis easy to understand.

</gallery>

== Production Information ==
1. Materials
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries01.jpg|
</gallery>
* Aluminium strip, approx. 1.5m of 25mm x 2.5mm
* Duct tape, grey
* Velcro, sew in variety, approx. 2.5m each of hook and loop
* Polystyrene balls (approx. 125mm diameter), x4
* Hot glue
* Paper and PVA glue for Papier-mâché
* Acrylic paints
* Spray on sealant
* Padded bags with drawstring
* Brushed cotton or Polar fleece fabric in suitable colours for sweatshirts
* Felt fabric, white for embroidery
* Glass organza (polyester) fabric for peritoneum, approx. 5m of 140cm wide fabric
* Bias binding, approx. 10m

2. Method: Strap-on Ovaries
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries02.jpg|
</gallery>
* Bend aluminium to fit the chest of an average person. Leave a bit of spring so that it will grip, in part, without the duct tape straps. Cut away excess with hacksaw if needed to make the ends even.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries03.jpg|
</gallery>
* Make straps out of a few layers of duct tape. We found that a couple more straps were needed than shown, to go over the shoulders. Velcro was sewn onto the straps.
* Cut each of the polystyrene balls with a saw about 5/8ths across the diameter. Discard the smaller pieces and hot glue pairs of the larger pieces together to make two ovoids. Using a hacksaw or similar, make a cut into the end of these to accommodate the ends of the aluminium strip. Secure with hot glue.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries04.jpg|
</gallery>
* Papier-mâché over the polystyrene, building up the lumpy shapes of multiple follicles. Finish with finer textured paper.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries05.jpg|
</gallery>
* When completely dry, decorate with acrylic paints and seal the completed ovaries with a spray art-sealant.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries06.jpg|
</gallery>
* Some padded bags will protect the ovaries from accidental knocks.

3. Method - Sweatshirts
* Make up the sweatshirts, using a pattern large enough to suit most people.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries07.jpg|
</gallery>
* Create two plackets in the back of the uterus sweatshirt to accommodate the ovarian ligaments. Sew in some Velcro tabs.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries08.jpg|
</gallery>
* Trace a design for the embroidery onto white felt. Pin in place on the sweatshirt and embroider with black stitching. Trim away the felt from around the stitching.

4. Method - Peritoneum
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries09.jpg|
Ovaries10.jpg|
</gallery>
* Sew the two layers together just under the arm of the wearer. Optional: the wrist opening can be finished with a cuff of e.g. white cotton lycra.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Ovaries11.jpg|
Ovaries12.jpg|
</gallery>
* On one layer only of the organza (the posterior layer) sew strips of Velcro to create the Mesovarium.
* On both layers sew down smaller pieces of Velcro, which join to form the Mesometrium.
* The remaining free ends of the organza can be finished by roll-hemming (anterior and posterior edges) or with bias binding (lateral edges). These parts of the model illustrate the layers of the peritoneum that cover the bladder (anterior layer) and rectum (posterior layer)

Kidney Purse

2020-11-05T01:38:22Z

Neufi03p:

=Kidney Purse=
There are about a million nephrons in each kidney, and each nephron is about 30mm long. So that’s roughly 30km of nephron per kidney. If the string in the kidney purse is 15m long, that would mean 2000 times as long as can be pulled out of the purse in a lecture theatre.

This model can be used to impress on students the overall length of nephrons to the students, and how important that length is for effective filtering of the blood. The model also helps them understand that if we have something the size of a kidney purse, the nephrons themselves must be microscopic to fit in there, which is why it’s important for the students to study the histology, to understand what’s going on in those very small structures.

[http://www.otago.ac.nz/anatomy/otago649835.mp4 Movie of nephron string being pulled out of Kidney Purse] If the movie does not play properly, try a different browser.

Click to enlarge the image of the Kidney Purse:
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
KidneyPurse1.jpg|
</gallery>

== Production Information ==
The string is wound onto on a reel inside a reel case, that can be tucked inside the kidney purse.

The reel is made from aluminium circles joined to a spindle made from a hollow rod of aluminium. Large-gauge screws are used to join the circles to the spindle.

The reel case is a section of PVC plumbing pipe, in this example 38mm diameter, sealed at both ends with duct tape. The inner surface of the duct tape is covered over so it doesn’t stick and two washers of felt help the reel move freely within the case.

The string is brightly coloured builder’s twine and runs from a small hole in the reel spindle and out of a large, smooth hole in the side of the reel case. About 15 meters of string were used in this example.

<gallery mode="nolines" widths=250px heights=200px>
KidneyPurse2.jpg|
KidneyPurse3.jpg|
KidneyPurse4.jpg|
</gallery>

One end of the reel case has a hole though which a screwdriver can be inserted to wind the string onto the reel. An electric screwdriver of some kind is actually better than hand-winding the reel since the more even winding action means the string is less likely to snag when being pulled out.

The leather purse was designed to fit around the reel case without being too tight. A zip is inserted into the long curve and a small gap is left at the hilum, through which the string can run. The end of the string is finished with a fold of leather to simulate the start of the ureter. Dacron wadding is used to pad out the inside of the purse, around the reel case.

Burlesque Brain

2020-11-05T01:37:59Z

Neufi03p:

A large model used to demonstrate the skull and meninges protecting the brain. Useful in big lecture theatres for first year anatomy teaching and for public demonstrations. The materials used are tactile and each is a metaphor for the function of a particular layer
* Skull - several hard plates that interlock
* Dura mater - tough and flexible
* Arachnoid mater - complex web-work with large blood vessels
* Pia mater - delicate and fitting close to the brain

== Production Information ==
This model was made as a one-off from the inside out. The very simple brain shape was carved from a large block of expanding foam, covered with a resin shell, painted and sealed.
<gallery mode="nolines" widths=200px heights=200px>
Burlesque Brain16.jpg|
</gallery>
The pattern pieces for the fabric layers were made by wrapping the brain model with paper and then cutting that paper along lines that resembled sulci until the pattern lay flat. The following images are of tidy reproductions of the original patterns. The Pia pattern was made first and the arachnoid/dura pattern graded up from that. Background grid is 100mm x 100mm.
