The smoker

This character is a complete human body plastinated, where we can see the skeletal system on the left side of the body, the muscular system on the right side and some internal organs that are protected by bones like the cranium, the rib cage or the pelvis. A lung can be recognized through the interstices of the ribs, which is obscured by years of smoking. It was carried out at the German University of Heidelberg, in the laboratories of Professor Gunter Von Hagen, creator of the technique of plastination for pieces conservation.
