Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm sorry, but is there anything goofier in all of biology than the human reproductive system? Both male and femal, but for sheer absurdity, it's hard to beat the male's dangly bits. Yet there is something undeniably fascinating about the whole arrangement, and this model (important note: It's a puzzle before it becomes a model) captures both the silliness and wonder of boy genitals.
The completed model is supposed to be half-scale--a putative ratio that I think some men might find dispiriting--and is complete with kidneys, bladder, testis, Cowper's gland, prostrate, some veins and arteries, and of course the star of our little show--the penis, helpfully shown in cutaway to expose the intricate interplay of spongy chambers and so forth. Oh, and there's even a giant sperm that gets its own little stand to the right of the anatomy model.
I noted earlier that this is a puzzle first, a fact emphasized by the lack of instructions on how to put it together. To me this is a plus, because I enjoy trying to better understand the way the parts relate to and interlock with each other, but I can easily imagine it being a source of considerable frustration. It's not always easy to infer, even with the provided photos of completed models, how the parts snap and press together.
Another thing I consider a benefit that many people might consider a bug is the written informational folder that comes with the kit...one of those very badly translated from Chines to English affairs that is unintentionally hilarious. Anyone wanting information about male reproduction will find no dearth of it on the Internet, but where can you find an uproarious explanation of why "the man have two testis and not one"? Priceless.
And lest I imply that this is MERELY a fun puzzle and model, it definitely could be helpful in sex ed or health context.
Finally, let me commend this entire series of models to anyone who enjoys the life sciences. I wrote a previous review about the Tedco 4D Vision Woolly Mammoth Anatomy Model, giving it very high marks, and I also have the animal cell model, and all I can say is, to a biology geek like me, these things are pure joy. Male reproduction might seem like a strange choice for the third one in the series for me to get--but that's just why I got it. I love being given a bizarre choice. Thanks, Tedco!
