Transverse Section of the Skin
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11731
Transverse Section of the Skin (SKU SCL-BLE-11731) is a PVC relief model, coloured with non-toxic dyes, that enlarges a block of human skin 70 times. It sets scalp skin beside hairless skin and shows hairs with their roots, the epidermis, sweat and sebaceous glands and Meissner's corpuscles, with front, side and back views. Built as a desk model, it suits biology and nursing classes, and Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, handles quotations and delivery for institutions and distributors.
Specifications
The 70-times skin relief is broken down feature by feature in the table. In short, it is a PVC desk model in non-toxic colours that compares scalp skin with hairless skin and can be studied from the front, side and back, with hair roots, glands and touch receptors picked out.

Applications and Experiments for the Skin Section Model
At 70 times enlargement the model makes the layers and appendages of skin large enough to discuss as a class, comparing hairy scalp skin with hairless skin and locating the glands and touch receptors. It suits senior-secondary biology, B.Sc. zoology and nursing anatomy and physiology lessons on the skin.
- NCERT Class 11 Biology, Excretory Products and their Elimination: the part played by sweat and sebaceous glands.
- Sense-organ lessons: Meissner's corpuscles as touch receptors, compared with the taste papillae on the Human Tongue Model.
- Nursing and paramedical anatomy: hair follicle and gland structure ahead of histology practicals.
- Looking at the surface of the students' own skin with a Hand Magnifier before turning to the enlarged section.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Transverse Section of the Skin is supplied as one PVC relief desk model, enlarged 70 times and coloured with non-toxic dyes, showing scalp and hairless skin from the front, side and back. Prepared skin slides and microscopes are separate items that can be quoted on the same document.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One skin model for a demonstration or a quantity for every anatomy group can be priced. Each quotation from Science Lab Supplies confirms the packing, delivery time and price for the requested number, and matching slides or sense-organ models can be included on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the skin enlarged on this model?
The section is enlarged 70 times, so hair roots, glands and Meissner's corpuscles that are microscopic in real skin become large enough to point out and name during a class demonstration.
Which kinds of skin does it show?
It shows scalp skin, with hairs and their roots, next to hairless skin, so students can compare the two. Sweat glands, sebaceous glands, the epidermis and Meissner's corpuscles are also represented.
How does it compare with the Human Skin Model?
The Human Skin Model in the Human System range is a 3-layer model of hair-covered head skin on a base, numbered with a key card. This section adds hairless skin and front, side and back views at 70 times.
Who supplies the Transverse Section of the Skin?
You can buy it through Science Lab Supplies, a supplier of teaching models based in Ambala, India, whose team quotes the model and arranges shipment for colleges, schools, distributors and tender buyers.
