Seldom Seen Authentic Exploding Skull, Medical, After Claude Beauchêne

About the Item

Authentic Exploding Skull Originally created by Edmé François Chauvot de Beauchêne (ca.1780-1830), a French anatomist and surgeon, developed this disarticulation method to comprehensively show all the cranial bones and their connections. The exploded skull is a type of anatomical preparation for which the bones are separated and mounted in anatomical position, but spaced out, so that it looks like the bones are suspended in mid-air. This is a common teaching aid in anatomy classes as it enables the students to view bones in context and pull them out for closer examination. The skull is made up of 22 bones (8 in the cranium and 14 in the face).
