Artery and Vein, Cross Section Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Artery and Vein, Cross Section (Product Code: SCL419/0109) is a prepared microscope slide of an artery and a vein cut across, used to compare the walls of the two main blood vessel types in biology and human physiology classes. Students set the thick, muscular artery wall against the thinner vein wall and wider lumen on a coloured preparation mounted on borosilicate glass. This circulatory-system slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Artery and Vein Slide Used For?

Seen side by side in cross section, the two vessels tell their own story. The artery is usually rounder, with a thick middle layer of smooth muscle and elastic tissue that lets it withstand and even out the high pressure of each heartbeat, around a relatively narrow central channel. The vein beside it has a thinner, less muscular wall and a wider, often flattened or irregular lumen, reflecting the lower pressure of blood returning to the heart.

Students identify the three layers of each vessel wall, the inner lining, the muscular middle coat and the outer connective-tissue coat, and then explain the differences in terms of function. Use low power for locating both vessels and comparing their overall size; higher power shows the layers and the thin lining of flat cells. A labelled comparison drawing makes a useful record for circulatory-system revision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide show?
The Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide shows an artery and a vein cut across, as a coloured preparation on borosilicate glass. Students compare wall thickness, lumen shape and the three wall layers of the two vessel types.

How can students tell the artery from the vein?
On the Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide, the artery usually has a thicker, more muscular wall and a rounder, narrower lumen, while the vein has a thinner wall and a wider, often irregular lumen. These clues identify each vessel.

Does the slide show capillaries?
The Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide is listed as a preparation of an artery and a vein, and our listing does not mention capillaries. For a slide focused on capillary networks, ask about our circulatory slide sets through the contact page.

Which microscope is needed for the artery and vein slide?
A standard compound student microscope is suitable for the Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide. Low power shows both vessels together for comparison, and higher power reveals the separate layers of each vessel wall.

Who supplies the Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), located in Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide and can include it in one quotation with circulatory models, other slides and microscopes.

How should the artery and vein slide be stored?
Store the Artery and Vein, Cross Section slide in its white rectangular plastic box, flat and away from heat and strong light. Handle it by the edges and clean the glass only with lens tissue to preserve the coloured section.
