Transparent Anatomical Mannikin

A Transparent Anatomical Mannikin or TAM is a three-dimensional, transparent model of a human being, created for medical instructional purposes. The first TAM was created by designer Richard Rush in 1968. It consisted of a see-through reproduction of a female human body, with various organs being wired so specific body systems would light up on command, on cue with a pre-recorded educational presentation.

Rush eventually produced 42 TAMs, many of which are still in service in various US health education museums.

A cheaper version, the Mobile TAM, was created by Rush in the 1980s.
