Claim:
1. A simulated tissue structure, comprising: a support; an artificial anatomical portion configured to simulate a region of an abdominal wall; the anatomical portion being connected to the support such that the anatomical portion is penetrable from a first side to a second side of the anatomical portion; the anatomical portion including a plurality of simulated tissue layers arranged in juxtaposition with each other; the simulated tissue layers including a simulated skin layer located above the remaining layers; each of the remaining layers having an opening extending through the layer; the simulated skin layer having a top surface and a bottom surface; the top surface of the simulated skin layer defines a first side of the anatomical portion; a tubular structure having a proximal end and a distal opening at a distal end; the distal end of the tubular structure extending through one or more openings in the remaining layers; wherein one of the remaining layers includes a simulated peritoneum layer and a first layer; the simulated peritoneum layer having a top surface and a bottom surface; the bottom surface of the simulated peritoneum layer forming the second side of the anatomical portion; the first layer having a top surface and a bottom surface; the bottom surface of the first layer overlaying the top surface of the simulated peritoneum layer; wherein the distal end of the tubular structure is connected to the first layer; and wherein the proximal end of the tubular structure is connected to the simulated skin layer.
