Question

How can I make a 3D stomach model?

Answer 1

Stomach forms a chief component of the digestive system. It is a pear-shaped pouch having an elongated structure. It is present at the left side across the abdominal cavity located a little beneath the diaphragm.

Complete answer:
The stomach forms a muscular organ. It is positioned towards the left side in the upper abdomen. The esophagus transports the food towards the stomach. Lower esophageal sphincter is a muscular valve located at the end of the esophagus. This valve directs the entry of food into the stomach which then digests the food with the help of secretion of several enzymes and acids.
Making a 3D model of a stomach is a swift project. It results in the formation of a model that can be painted. Once the stomach is made, various details including the muscles could then be added as per the requirement using the acrylic paints.
It is a prerequisite to decide the size of the model to be created. If the life size model of the stomach is required, a round balloon is inflated or a ball of approximate size can be taken. Then a model magic or the clay layer needs to be wrapped around the balloon or the ball taken. The balloon or the ball acts as the central support for the model magic so that it can be dried properly. The model magic or the clay is thus pulled to craft an oblong shape customary for a stomach.
The clay is thus rolled in the form of thick cylinders and they are then cut with the help of the butter knife for creating the tubes coming towards or moving away from the stomach. These tubes are then correctly positioned at the model. The seams are smoothened with the help of the fingers. The completed project is thus allowed to dry for a couple of days prior to painting, if needed.

Note: Digestion is the major function of the stomach present in various organisms. They secrete various acids and enzymes. They also act as a gastric reservoir and aid in gastrointestinal motility.
