Skeletons such as these have typically been used as teaching aids for nursing and medical students since the 1800s. The skeleton is complete but the joints are made from stainless steel. This allows all the joints of the skeleton to be fully articulated.
Skeletons remain a familiar feature of medical training, but these days they tend to be plastic replicas rather than the real thing.
