And no, it's not for sexual gratification. I need the one that medical students use. It should be really life-like. I would recommend that it showed the inner workings of the body, such as the nerves and tissues and such.

It's for a friend who has finals this week and is pulling her hair out.

Does anyone know/recommend a place?

You're looking for a human model that shows all the organs, nerves, tissues, etc of the body? Unless it's fairly large, it's going to be useless... and you'll be paying much more than what you could pay for in medical textbooks and atlases. If she's a med student and doesn't have such books as Gray's Anatomy, then you could get her one of those. They will definitely last her for YEARS. If she does have it, she'll find much better use from those than from any model you can get her.

It doesn't have to be super-detailed. I want a human model because I believe that she learns best from practice, rather than simply looking at a textbook. BTW, what's the going price and where can I get one?

Male or female?

Preferably male because females have more fat.

But seriously, Gray's Anatomy smells much better after a few days, trust me on this.

maybe you can buy one of these. I saw the exhibition in London, it was very educational and kinda gross at the same time. ;)
