ALT Spermatogenesis detailed model showing the process of sperm cell production

ALT Spermatogenesis - Spermatogenesis is the process of formation of spermatozoa in the testis. This model shows the progression of spermatogonium to full sperm cell by dissecting a portion out from the seminiferous tubules in the testis. This is a great compliment to our ovary model that shows the progression of oocytes to ovum.

ALT Smooth muscle - Smooth muscle is a type of muscle found in the walls of organs and blood vessels and in the skin. It supplies various involuntary functions to the areas it is present in. A user will be able to compare this model to other types of muscle cell models in CA such as the skeletal muscle.

ALT Small intestine - The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It helps to further digest food coming from the stomach. This model shows all three parts side by side. This allows users to compare and contrast the structures between each area.

ALT Pancreas - The pancreas is an accessory digestive organ with both exocrine and endocrine glandular components. The exocrine component of the pancreas is the part of the pancreas that acts as an exocrine gland, consisting of the pancreatic acini, which produce pancreatic juice and secrete it into the duodenum to aid in protein digestion. Pancreatic islets are irregular microscopic structures scattered throughout the pancreas and comprising its endocrine part. This model allows the user to distinctly see the different cell types that make up this structure and understand their secretions.
