Abstract
An inflatable exhibit of a heart includes an inflatable infrastructure inflatable to a three-dimensional partial representation of the heart at a scale greater than at least, 10:1, but more preferably greater than 20:1, and most preferably, greater than 25:1. The infrastructure includes a cross-sectional plane thereacross. The exhibit further includes a walk-through passageway defined, at least, in part by the inflated infrastructure, and extending through the inflated infrastructure. The cross-sectional plane defines a plane of the passageway.
Claims24
A portable walk-through heart exhibit, the heart exhibit comprising:
- an inflatable structure inflated to a model of a human heart, and wherein the inflated model has an interior;
- a walk-through pattern through the interior of the inflated model, wherein the walk-through pattern includes an entrance into the inflated model;
- and
- wherein the inflated model includes a right ventricle, a left ventricle, and a septum that separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle.
A portable walk-through heart exhibit, the heart exhibit comprising:
- an inflatable structure inflated to a model of a human heart;
- an interior of the inflated model comprising interior features of the human heart;
- a walk-through pattern through the interior comprising an entrance into the inflated model;
- and
- an outside surface of the inflatable structure comprising a vena cava, an aorta, and additional arteries and veins extending about the outside surface and situated above the walk-through pattern.
A method of providing educational information about the human heart, the method comprising:
- inflating an inflatable structure to form an inflated model of a human heart, the inflated model having an interior;
- whereby a walk-through pattern extends through the interior of the inflated model and includes an entrance into the inflated model, wherein the interior of the inflated model includes a right ventricle, a left ventricle, and a septum that separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle;
- and
- deflating the model.
