A mechanical mannequin apparatus for demonstrating medical management of human normal and abnormal airways is disclosed. The mechanical mannequin apparatus includes airway elements that resemble those found in infant, children and adult human beings and includes at least one restrictor mechanism attached to at least a portion of at least one of the airway elements for causing sealing engagement against and volume restriction of at least one of the airway elements. The mechanical mannequin apparatus also includes an esophagus tube member, a stomach cavity, jaw adjusting mechanism and neck adjusting mechanism. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention has met the above-described need. The mechanical mannequin apparatus of the present invention provides an efficient and economical mechanical simulator having an anatomically correct airway of a human that may be selectively converted by an operator (ie. instructor) from a normal airway anatomy to an abnormal human airway for teaching the principles of advanced medical airway management. The mechanical mannequin of the present invention provides a head region having an adjustable jaw, an adjustable neck region located below and in communication with the head region, and a chest region located below and in communication with the neck region. The head region and the neck region of the present invention further comprise an upper airway having (a) at least one nostril aperature, (b) a nasal cavity having a proximal end, a distal end and a middle section that is disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the nasal cavity, and wherein the nostril aperature is located at the proximal end of the nasal cavity, (c) an oral cavity having a proximal end, a distal end and a middle section disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the oral cavity, and wherein the oral cavity is located below the nasal cavity, (d) a mouth opening located at the proximal end of the the oral cavity, and wherein the mouth opening has an opening size determined by the relative position of the adjustable jaw, (e) a pharynx tube member having a proximal end, a distal end and a middle section disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the pharynx tube member, wherein the proximal end of the pharynx tube member is located below and in communication with the distal end of the nasal cavity, and wherein the distal end of the oral cavity is located at and in communication with the middle section of the pharynx tube member, and (f) a larynx tube member having a proximal end, a distal end and a middle section disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the larynx tube member, and wherein the larynx tube member lies below the oral cavity and in front of the pharynx tube member, and wherein the proximal end of the larynx tube member is located at and in communication with the distal end of the pharynx tube member
