Every aspect of&nbsp;this&nbsp;new female model has been considered, from how it&nbsp;is represented&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;proportions,&nbsp;skin tone,&nbsp;skeleton,&nbsp;and&nbsp;organs, resulting in&nbsp;the most advanced&nbsp;and detailed 3D female model on the market.&nbsp;We have made the decision to present the female model in the anatomical position, as opposed to the lithotomy position, so it truly stands on an equal footing to the male in stature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our design&nbsp;and engineering&nbsp;teams&nbsp;have carefully considered how it integrates into the Complete Anatomy platform,&nbsp;so the choice lies with&nbsp;the customer about&nbsp;whether they teach and learn with an emphasis on the female&nbsp;body,&nbsp;or&nbsp;use the female model&nbsp;as a combined approach with the male.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every bone, every joint,&nbsp;for every body&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.completeanatomy.cn\/media\/blog\/december2022\/female-model-compare.jpg\" alt=\"Comparison of the male pelvis anatomy and the female pelvis anatomy\">\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose whether to study principally on the female or male skeleton, with equal representation&nbsp;of&nbsp;both.&nbsp;The unique details that&nbsp;represent&nbsp;the female body such as the sexual dimorphic differences found in the pelvis, or finer details of the skull, have been carefully depicted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the subtle differences&nbsp;in the&nbsp;long bones to the&nbsp;extremely detailed skeletal parts, surfaces and landmarks&nbsp;of the pelvis, our uniquely female&nbsp;skeletal system&nbsp;is&nbsp;ready for stand-alone study or comparison against the male skeleton.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fibers,&nbsp;tendons&nbsp;and musculature.

Details such as the inferior distribution of the mammary glands,&nbsp;which we chose to represent as non-lactating,&nbsp;are representative of&nbsp;the majority of&nbsp;the population&nbsp;unlike most anatomical&nbsp;depictions to date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reproductive organs from the internal and external genitalia have been remodeled to accurately show their continued relationship,&nbsp;such as the important contribution of the anterior vaginal wall to the vestibule. We have based the shape of the clitoris on&nbsp;the latest&nbsp;academic research so that it now presents in the classic J-crook shape and ensured to provide as much detail in the surrounding&nbsp;neurovasculature&nbsp;so that&nbsp;students can fully understand this&nbsp;complex&nbsp;region of the body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is through a better depiction of these&nbsp;often-misrepresented&nbsp;regions that we hope to provide better patient outcomes through better&nbsp;student&nbsp;education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Male and female anatomy.
