Learning about Organs

<p>Hi. I know you are parents and not teachers, but I was hoping that one of you could help me tell me where I can buy an organ buddy.</p>

<p>Alright, so I don’t know what they are called. Its a dummy with his legs and arms cut off. You can open up his skin and see his organs. In really cool models, you can take out each organ and even up the organ and see inside!</p>

<p>I would really love to find this and give it to my little brother as a birthday present. He is one of those kids with common sense, but not really book smart. I’ll bet this would really help him. And I really wish I had one when I took biology!</p>

<p>Leave it to a professional! This looks like a site for scrubs, but if you look down the list of buttons on the left, you will see the one for “Anatomical models and charts” - enjoy.
There is a particularly cool Jello mold shaped like a brain, he would probably like that better than an educational present.</p>

<p>Oh, yes! Here they are!

<p>And I like the dental model, as well. A plus is they are cheaper than I thought they would be! I see that some of them can open up. I hope the heart opens up, as well. That one is very important! Thanks again, cangel!</p>

<p>I have one in my science classroom and I can attest to its efficacy. Still, 2k…How old is your bro?</p>

<p>My brother is 12 years old and still doesn’t know how many chambers a heart has! And I don’t think it should be a surprise to children to know that your heart is behind your lungs and your kidneys are not infront of your stomach.</p>
