Physiology of Nerves

The Physiology of Nerves series displays the basic structures of the human nervous system.

Each of the five sections of the nerve model shows a plastic coloured relief model of the main synapse variations. All sections of the nerve physiology series can be magnetically attached to the illustrated base, which depicts the neural components in vivid colours.

The nerve physiology set contains the following sections

Neuron Cell Body
Typical neuron body with cell organelles, for example mitochondria and many other characteristics of human cell, are visible through a removable transparent cover. The edge of the cell body also shows the synapses of connected neurons.

Myelin Sheaths of the CNS
This model shows the glial cells which build the insulating layer around the axons of the central nervous system.

Schwann Cells of the PNS
Depicts a Schwann cell with sectioned core.

Motor End Plate
Neuromuscular junction with striated muscle fibre is depicted.

Synapse
Featuring the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and the membranes of the synaptic gap.

 The nerve set is a great tool for teaching the anatomy and physiology of the human nervous system.
