A 3D model of a magnified dicot leaf section is an excellent tool for learning about leaf structure and function. It highlights key features like the cuticle, epidermis, collenchyma, parenchyma (palisade and spongy), air spaces, chloroplasts, bundle sheath, sclerenchyma, xylem, phloem, guard cells, and stomata. The model's coloration and numbering, coupled with a key card, allow for easy identification and comparison of these structures.

  • Cuticle: A protective, waxy layer on the leaf's surface.
  • Epidermis (Upper & Lower): The outer layer of cells, providing a protective barrier.
  • Hypodermis (Collenchyma): A layer of supportive tissue just beneath the epidermis.
  • Pallisade Parenchyma: Tightly packed cells containing many chloroplasts, responsible for most of the photosynthesis.
  • Spongy Parenchyma: Loosely packed cells with air spaces, facilitating gas exchange for photosynthesis.
  • Air Spaces: Spaces between spongy parenchyma cells, allowing for gas circulation.
  • Chloroplasts: Organelles within parenchyma cells where photosynthesis takes place.
  • Bundle Sheath: A layer of cells surrounding the vascular bundles, regulating movement of substances.
  • Sclerenchyma: Strong, supportive cells that provide structure to the leaf.
  • Xylem: Transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaf.
  • Phloem: Transports sugars produced during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.
  • Guard Cells: Specialized cells surrounding stomata, controlling their opening and closing.
  • Stomata: Pores on the leaf surface that allow for gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out) and transpiration.

Clear Identification: A numbered key card is provided, enabling users to easily identify and learn the names of different anatomical structures.

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.
