This 3D model of the thyroid gland provides a detailed and anatomically accurate representation of one of the most essential glands in the endocrine system. Designed for educational, medical, and artistic applications, it offers a comprehensive visualization of the thyroid’s structure and its relationship to surrounding anatomy.

Key features:

• Accurate depiction of the thyroid’s butterfly-shaped lobes and isthmus, capturing its natural proportions.
• Includes major anatomical landmarks such as the trachea, larynx, and surrounding blood vessels, including the superior and inferior thyroid arteries and veins.
• Optional visualization of the parathyroid glands located on the posterior surface of the thyroid.
• Highlights the gland’s internal texture and structure, showcasing its role in hormone production and storage.
• Realistic surface details for enhanced visualization and study.

Applications:

• Medical education to teach the anatomy and function of the thyroid gland in regulating metabolism and calcium homeostasis.
• Research in endocrinology, focusing on thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid nodules.
• Artistic reference for creating realistic anatomical models and visualizations.

The model is optimized for 3D printing and digital use, provided in widely compatible file formats such as STL and OBJ. This thyroid gland model is a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and designers aiming for precise and detailed representations of endocrine anatomy.
