3D Models in this article

Skin Section from
TurboSquid

Lungs from Anatomium

This is part of an anatomical 3D model collection produced by: http://www.anatomium.com/
I highly recommend this company's 3d anatomical models and products as being accurate and extremely affordable to anyone interested in producing educational content for schools, biological, and medical students.
