Prepared Microscope Slide - Transverse Section of Artery (individually packed),1 pc

A prepared microscope slide of an artery's transverse section (T.S.) shows its distinct, multi-layered wall and narrow, circular lumen. In many slides, a corresponding transverse section of a vein is included for direct comparison. The slide reveals the key histological features that allow the artery to withstand high blood pressure from the heart. 

 

A "T.S. section" stands for transverse section, which is a cut or slice made perpendicular to the longitudinal (long) axis of an object or body, such as a plant stem or a body part. This cross-sectional view allows for the examination of internal structures, cellular composition, and anatomical features, particularly in fields like biology and medicine for research and identification purposes.
