Abstract

A human body simulation device includes an aorta model that simulates an aorta, and a biological model that simulates a part of a human body and has a partial blood vessel model simulating a part of blood vessels. The aorta model includes a biological model connecting portion that attachably/detachably connects the biological model in a state where an inner cavity of the aorta model and an inner cavity of the partial blood vessel model are in communication with each other, and a fluid feeding portion connecting portion that connects a fluid feeding portion for feeding a fluid into the inner cavities.

Claims (46)

1. A human body simulation device comprising:

a biological model simulating a part of a human body, and comprising a partial blood vessel model simulating a part of blood vessels; and

an aorta model simulating an aorta, and comprising:

a biological model connecting portion configured to attachably/detachably connect the biological model to the aorta model in a state where an inner cavity of the aorta model and an inner cavity of the partial blood vessel model are in communication with each other; and

a fluid feeding portion connecting portion configured to connect to a fluid feeding pump system that is configured to feed a fluid into the inner cavities, wherein the biological model connecting portion comprises at least two or more connection portions selected from the group consisting of:

a first connection portion configured to connect a brain model simulating a brain;

a second connection portion configured to connect a heart model simulating a heart;

a third connection portion configured to connect a liver model simulating a liver; and

a fourth connection portion configured to connect a lower limb model simulating a lower limb.

2. The human body simulation device according to claim 1 , wherein the aorta model is configured such that:

the first connection portion is disposed on or near a portion of the aorta model simulating an aortic arch;

the second connection portion is disposed on or near a portion of the aorta model simulating an ascending aorta;

the third connection portion is disposed on or near a portion of the aorta model simulating an abdominal aorta; and

the fourth connection portion is disposed on or near a portion of the aorta model simulating a common iliac aorta.

3. The human body simulation device according to claim 2 , wherein:

the partial blood vessel model comprises a plurality of blood vessel constituting portions that constitute each portion of the part of blood vessels, and

at least a part of the plurality of blood vessel constituting portions has a lesion portion simulating a lesion inside or outside the blood vessel.

4. The human body simulation device according to claim 2 , wherein:

the biological model connecting portion comprises a first flange portion formed on an outer periphery of an opening leading to the inner cavity of the aorta model,

the partial blood vessel model comprises a second flange portion formed on an outer periphery of an opening leading to the inner cavity of the partial blood vessel model, and

the biological model is connectable to the aorta model by fixing the first flange portion and the second flange portion to each other so as to be abutted against each other.

5. The human body simulation device according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a fixation member that is configured to fix the first flange portion and the second flange portion to each other by engaging the fixation member to outer edges of the abutted first flange portion and second flange portion.

6. The human body simulation device according to claim 2 , wherein the partial blood vessel model is configured such that:

a proximal end of the partial blood vessel model is configured to connect to the biological model connecting portion, and

a distal end of the partial blood vessel model is arranged on at least one of a surface and an inside of the biological model.

7. The human body simulation device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a water bath configured to be filled with a liquid as the fluid and to contain the aorta model and the biological model.

8. The human body simulation device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the partial blood vessel model comprises a plurality of blood vessel constituting portions that constitute each portion of the part of blood vessels, and

at least a part of the plurality of blood vessel constituting portions has a lesion portion simulating a lesion inside or outside the blood vessel.

9. The human body simulation device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the biological model connecting portion comprises a first flange portion formed on an outer periphery of an opening leading to the inner cavity of the aorta model,

the partial blood vessel model comprises a second flange portion formed on an outer periphery of an opening leading to the inner cavity of the partial blood vessel model, and

the biological model is connectable to the aorta model by fixing the first flange portion and the second flange portion to each other so as to be abutted against each other.

10. The human body simulation device according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a fixation member that is configured to fix the first flange portion and the second flange portion to each other by engaging the fixation member to outer edges of the abutted first flange portion and second flange portion.

11. The human body simulation device according to claim 1 , wherein the partial blood vessel model is configured such that:

a proximal end of the partial blood vessel model is configured to connect to the biological model connecting portion, and

a distal end of the partial blood vessel model is arranged on at least one of a surface and an inside of the biological model.

12. The human body simulation device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a water bath configured to be filled with a liquid as the fluid and to contain the aorta model and the biological model.

13. The human body simulation device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the biological model is a heart model having an inner cavity and simulating a heart,

the human body simulation device further comprises a beat pump configured to cause the heart model to beat by sending and sucking an expansion medium into/from the inner cavity of the heart model, and

the expansion medium is a radiolucent liquid.
