Neuron Model
BR-121
This model is enlarged approx. 2500 times, to show the electron microscopic structure of a nerve fibre.
It features 2 parts:
- Neuron cell body with the dendrites and
- Axon
The neuron cell body features the nucleus, and various other cell organelles.
The edge of the neuron cell body shows the synaptic junctions. The axon hillock is seen too.
The axon is enclosed in the myelin sheath, made up of the Schwann cells. Also the Node of Ranvier is clearly depicted.
The model is mounted on a base and numbered with an English key card.
