BioQuest® Inflatable Lungs Kit
PRODUCT DETAILS
By Calvin R. Fremling, PhD.
Dramatic demonstration kits that provide an impressive, unforgettable, hands-on demonstration of the texture and fragility of the mammalian lung, as well as demonstrating that real lungs are not like rubber balloons in a bell jar.
The teacher’s guide emphasizes the handling, use, and storage of the reusable swine lungs, and includes a detailed illustration of internal anatomy. Supplemental information about lung cancer, other smoking-induced diseases, and air pollutants is also included.
This demonstration kit is suitable for elementary, secondary, and college classes in health, biology, anatomy, and physical education to demonstrate the touch and feel of a lung that is very similar to a human lung. The swine lungs included in the kit have been specially preserved by the BioFlex process. Students can see and learn how lungs, that are very comparable with their own, work by inflating and deflating them with a pump. A section of dried lung is included with each kit to show internal anatomy structures including arteries, veins, bronchioles, alveoli, and bronchi.
The BioQuest® Inflatable Lungs Kit includes an inflation rack and tray, air pump, one pair of reusable, inflatable swine lungs, one section of dried swine lung, and a teacher’s guide; and a 2-qt. container for storing the lungs. Replacement components can be purchased separately. Inflatable lungs in this can can be used with the Simulated Smoker’s Lungs Kit (LS03767M).
