Respiratory System Model — Lungs & Alveoli (MYASKRO)

Overview
Two-piece teaching set illustrating the conducting airways to lung parenchyma and an enlarged acinus/alveolar sac. Designed for rapid correlation of structure with ventilation–perfusion and gas exchange. Instructional aid; not a medical device.

Components

• Upper airway–lung panel: Nasal cavity → pharynx → larynx → trachea → main/lobar/segmental bronchi; cutaway lung parenchyma with bronchioles and terminal/respiratory bronchioles.

• Enlarged alveolar unit: Alveolar ducts and sacs with inter-alveolar septa, dense pulmonary capillary network, and the respiratory membrane (type I pneumocyte, fused basement membrane, capillary endothelium) schematically indicated.

Learning objectives

• Differentiate conducting vs respiratory zones and trace airflow from nares to alveoli.

• Explain gas exchange across the alveolar–capillary barrier and principles of V/Q matching.

• Discuss pathology at each level: bronchospasm/mucus plugging (asthma), consolidation (pneumonia), septal destruction (emphysema), interstitial/alveolar edema.

• Support OSCE stations: airway mapping, lobar/segmental bronchus identification, diffusion concepts.

Specifications

• Medical-Grade PVC relief models on stable backplates; high-contrast, hand-painted detail.

• Wall-mount ready; wipe-clean (mild detergent or 70% alcohol; avoid solvents/heat).

Who it’s for
Medical and physiotherapy programs, nursing colleges, pulmonary rehab education, hospital skill labs, and patient counselling.
