Blood vessels of a real person who dedicated their body to science for display

How are these so clean like WOw bruh scalpel game strong

This is a corrosion model eg something like liquid plastic gets inserted in the blood vessels and then put in an acid bath that destroys the body.

oh

nigga thought they went in with an xacto

Hey, science is strange and cool and startling on many levels.  It’s okay to get excited thinking that it was done in a labor intensive way, just like it’s okay to get excited about the cool way it was actually done.  Just ‘cause someone didn’t know about corrosion models (a fairly esoteric and field-specific method) doesn’t mean they’re stupid for assuming it was done with a scalpel (which, given what laymen are exposed to vis a vis Science, is pretty understandable.)

Now let’s agree to collectively freak over how fucking metal it is that LIQUID PLASTIC was shot into this person’s veins, and then they were MELTED in LITERAL ACID.  People who donate their bodies to science are RAD.
