Short answer: The BIX-A3004 is a 10-part, life-size male torso cut along the sagittal (median) plane and measuring 42 x 20 x 84.5 cm. It exists to close the hardest gap in anatomy teaching — moving students from flat 2D drawings to the cross-sectional views they actually meet on CT and MRI. It is the male counterpart to the BIX-A3005 female vertical slice already in this catalogue.
Key takeaways
A vertical slice (also called a sagittal or median section) is the torso cut front-to-back down the midline, so a student sees the heart, lungs, diaphragm, liver, stomach, intestines and spine in one plane — the same plane they will study on a sagittal CT or MRI. A transverse (horizontal) slice answers a different question and a coronal slice a different one again; teaching them separately, on separate models, is why students often fail to link the three. A single-plane torso makes the relationship explicit.

Cross-sectional anatomy is genuinely difficult to teach from drawings alone. In a study of clay modelling used alongside gross-anatomy and neuroanatomy courses, making and cutting physical models helped students understand cross-sectional anatomy and compare their own cut surfaces with CT images — the authors concluded the method supports learning of sectional anatomy [1]. A separate experiment comparing 3D graphic models with 2D cross-sections for neuroimaging interpretation found that the 3D group performed better on accuracy and speed [2]. The practical message for a teaching lab is the same in both cases: students learn sectional anatomy faster when they can rotate, remove and physically reconstruct the structure instead of only looking at a flat image. The A3004 is a low-tech version of exactly that principle — a physical model whose parts come apart in the plane students must learn to read.
Dust the parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid solvents, which can dull the painted structures. Store the model assembled but in a closed cabinet when not in use, and handle the smaller removable parts over a tray so nothing is lost during a class.
Q1. What is the difference between the BIX-A3004 and a standard removable-organ torso?
A standard torso is cut horizontally, so the organs lift out in layers. The A3004 is cut vertically (sagittally) along the midline, which is the view a student meets on a sagittal CT or MRI.
Q2. How many parts does it have and how big is it?
Ten parts, life size, measuring 42 x 20 x 84.5 cm.
Q3. Is it the male or female version?
This is the male version. The female vertical slice is listed separately as BIX-A3005.
Q4. What is the reference price?
The product page lists USD 1,237.6 as a reference price, subject to order quantity — confirm the final price when you request a quotation.
Q5. Is it suitable for high-school or vocational teaching?
Yes, though it is aimed primarily at medical, nursing and imaging programmes where cross-sectional (CT/MRI) anatomy is examined.
Q6. How do I order or request a sample video?
Email adaanatomy@adaanatomy.com with the model number, quantity and destination; we will send pricing and a demonstration video on request.
Send your requirement for the BIX-A3004 (and, if useful, the matching BIX-A3005) to adaanatomy@adaanatomy.com. Our team will reply with pricing, packing dimensions and lead time.
