How the model is used in teaching
The twelve thoracic vertebrae form the middle of the back, between the neck and the lumbar region. Each one carries joint surfaces for a pair of ribs, which is why this part of the spine is stiffer than the neck or lower back and why it forms the back wall of the rib cage that protects the heart and lungs.
On this model, students can count the twelve vertebrae, see the discs between them and follow the spinal cord and its nerve branches as they leave the canal at each level. In the body these branches run along the ribs as the intercostal nerves. The removable column can be lifted from the stand and passed round the class.
- Lift the column off its stand and count the 12 thoracic vertebrae.
- Identify the vertebral bodies, discs and spinal canal.
- Trace the spinal cord segment and a pair of nerve branches.
- Relate the thoracic spine to the ribs and the protection of the chest organs.
