Composite teaching slide set of human and non-human Central Nervous System specimens
Features specimens showcasing neural structures, with all four major brain regions represented: cerebral cortex, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord
Extends into the Peripheral Nervous System
Includes multiple human pathologies: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (spinal cord), astroblastoma, neuro-epithelioma, ependymoma, lenticular nucleus softening (carbon monoxide poisoning), chronic cerebral hemorrhage, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the cerebellum, and severe multiple sclerosis
Comparative CNS material: Primate (Rhesus macaque brain), Rodent (rat brain coronal section), Feline (cat cerebrum), Marsupial (opossum brain), Amphibian (frog neural plate), Avian (chick neuroepithelium whole mount), and Porcine embryo spinal cord
Includes ocular globes and a section on the Special Sensory Systems: ocular, cochlea, olfactory epithelium, taste buds — representing cranial nerve pathways for vision, hearing, smell, and taste
Includes 25 prepared stained glass slides (circa antique early 20th c. through 1980s) in a plastic case.
Consists of LARGE OVERSIZE slides measuring 3 x 2 inches, standard size 3 x 1 inch, and intermediate sizes.
A set of interest to: Neurology, Neuroanatomy, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology, Perinatology, Neonatology, Forensic Pathology, Ophthalmology, Optometry, Veterinary Medicine, Biology, Anatomy, and other Health Sciences.
Please examine each slide for individual identification and condition. The set has the occasional chip or edge wear. Slides featured below in photos are the actual ones you will be receiving.
