Artery and Vein, Cross Section
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11675
Artery and Vein, Cross Section (SKU SCL-BLE-11675) is a coloured prepared slide that sections an artery and a vein so students can compare the walls and openings of the two kinds of blood vessel. It is used for circulation topics in secondary school biology, B.Sc. zoology and nursing or paramedical histology. Science Lab Supplies dispatches the slide from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors alike.
Specifications
Each specification of the artery and vein slide is set out below. Briefly, the vessel sections are carried on a rectangular borosilicate glass slide sized 25.4 x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 inches), coloured so the wall layers show up well, and the slide arrives in a plastic box.

Applications and Experiments for the Artery and Vein Slide
The slide is used to compare the structure of an artery with that of a vein. Students identify the three wall layers in each vessel, note that the artery has the thicker muscular middle layer and narrower opening, and relate these differences to high-pressure and low-pressure blood flow.

Standard Scope of Supply
The scope is a single coloured slide carrying cross sections of an artery and a vein on 25.4 x 76.2 mm borosilicate glass, supplied in a plastic box. A microscope and heart or circulation models are separate items and can be put on the same quotation where required.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order the quantity that matches your lab: a single demonstration slide or one for each student microscope. Science Lab Supplies prepares a quotation giving the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and other circulation slides, charts or models can sit on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. Start an enquiry for the artery and vein slide on the contact page, collect several items in the enquiry cart, or read the lab tender page before submitting tender documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can students tell the artery from the vein on the slide?
The artery normally has a thick, muscular wall and a small, rounded opening, while the vein has a thinner wall and a wider, often flattened opening. Comparing the two side by side makes the link between structure and blood pressure clear.
Which syllabus topics does this slide support?
It supports the transportation section of Class 10 Life Processes, the Body Fluids and Circulation chapter of Class 11, and histology practicals in B.Sc. zoology, nursing and paramedical courses where blood vessel structure is examined.
Who supplies the Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide?
Supply is handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Its team prepares the quotation, packs the slide in its plastic box and arranges dispatch, and it can add heart and circulation teaching aids to the same consignment.
Can this slide be included in a lab tender?
Yes. Share the tender schedule and quantities, and Science Lab Supplies will quote the slide item by item against those laboratory equipment tenders in India or abroad, stating packing and delivery for each line.
