Using the silicon (luminal cast plastination technique) for the lower respiratory tract in sheep as an alternative to cement

Abstract

The lower respiratory tract of sheep was studied to determine the torsion and branching of the bronchial tree. The respiratory system of ruminants and all living organisms is one of the most important organs in the body that controls the amount of gas exchange between the heart and lungs through the airways, it is clear that in sheep it consists of a narrow bronchial tube that reaches the extent of lung tissue repercussions. He used silicon, water, acid, and at room temperature, and the substance was injected with an injection gun through the trachea and was pushed gently to spread and distribute in all parts of the lungs with moderate manual pressure. The results showed that the mold shape in the lung and the bronchial branches of the bronchi is solid and anti-erosion with a very clear and three-dimensional appearance, easy to handle, store and carry for study and presentation purposes in scientific museums, and in scientific presentations as an anatomical method for large-scale teaching.
