1. A system for presenting an anatomical simulant to a user, the system comprising:
a model assembly configured to present an anatomical simulant to a user, the model assembly comprising:
a liquid storage container configured to selectively hold a liquid;
a model support assembly configured to support the anatomical simulant; and
a pump configured to move the liquid into a chamber in the model support assembly that is closed by the anatomical simulant to provide a back pressure to a rear surface of the anatomical simulant adjacent to the chamber to simulate at least one of arterial flow or venous flow.
