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.
