Don Jake Saunders Heart Model

This heart model was sculpted by the late, renowned medical illustrator Don Jake Saunders. Standing 17” tall, the heart boasts a lifelike contrast of the trabeculations of the heart and excellent detail in the conduction system. It rotates on a removable base. It is three times life size and has over one hundred coded structures, and the four chambers open for simultaneous viewing.

Using Models @ Hope Brings Strength Libraries

  • Most anatomy models are kept on the table across from the Hope Brings Strength Library's service desk or on top of the short glass cabinet in the middle of the library. We ask that you return the model to its original location after use.
  • Some models (those with a lot of loose parts) are kept in the glass case beside the service desk.
  • A spine and full-sized skeleton model are available at the Sewell Learning Commons.   
  • Models are tagged with QR codes which link to the correlating section of Netter Atlas of Anatomy, or in some instances an alternative text.
  • Models must be used in the library.
