This real human rib exhibits noticeable pathological changes, with irregular bone growth and texture visible along the shaft and near the head. The curvature and structure remain intact, while the altered surface provides a clear example of skeletal variation and disease impact on bone. An excellent specimen for pathology study, medical training, or educational display, offering a tangible reference for understanding bone abnormalities and anatomical structure.nWe believe education is the greatest gift osteology can share and that every human specimen can contribute to the advancement of science. These specimens are provided to us by retired physicians, medical researchers, dental professionals, and former university medical programs. We also work with accredited donor programs. A small sample – often antiques that simply do not qualify for medical/research grade usage – are made available to osteology enthusiasts worldwide so that they may continue to educate and inform.nnSpecifications:nnExhibits signs of pathologynRibs Length 22.85 cm (9 in)nRibs Width 9 cm (3.5 in)nRibs Height 3 cm (1.2 in)
