Typical Flower V.S.
Enlarged view of a typical flower. Model with cut-away sections to show the major parts stem, sepal, petal, stamen and pistil. Students can trace the transmission of male gamete to female gamete within the ovary. Mounted on base. Numbered with English Key Card.
A typical flower, viewed in a cut-away section, reveals several key parts: the stem (or peduncle), sepals, petals, stamen (male reproductive organ), and pistil (female reproductive organ). The stem supports the flower, and the sepals protect the developing bud. Petals are often brightly colored to attract pollinators. The stamen consists of an anther (where pollen is produced) and a filament. The pistil includes the stigma (where pollen lands), style, and ovary (containing ovules).
Size 42 x 30 x 7 cm approx. Weight 1 kg approx.
Vertical Section (V.S.): A cut that runs perpendicular to the surface of the specimen, revealing its internal structure from top to bottom.
Educational Use: The model is designed for use in medical anatomy and physiology courses, patient education, and in medical offices where visualization of the female pelvis is needed.
Quality Construction: It is crafted by subject matter experts and features vibrant, hand-painted details with eco-friendly paint.
Stem (Peduncle): The stalk that supports the flower.
Sepals: The outermost, leaf-like structures that protect the developing bud. They are collectively called the calyx.
Petals: Brightly colored structures located inside the sepals that attract pollinators. They are collectively called the corolla.
Stamen:
The male reproductive part, consisting of:
- Anther: The part that produces pollen.
- Filament: The stalk that supports the anther.
Pistil:
The female reproductive part, consisting of:
- Stigma: The sticky tip where pollen lands.
- Style: The stalk connecting the stigma to the ovary.
- Ovary: The enlarged base of the pistil containing the ovules.
These parts work together in the process of pollination and fertilization, leading to seed development.
