The Dissectible Human Neuron (Product Code: SLE/A/150) is a schematic model of a nerve cell and its axon, showing the medullary (myelin) sheath and Schwann’s sheath, that separates into 3 parts and stands on its own base. Its simplified, uncluttered design suits secondary school and pre-university classes that need to learn the basic parts of a neuron before moving to more detailed cell biology. It is one of the biology teaching aids in India made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Representation | Schematic nerve cell and axon |
| Sheaths shown | Medullary sheath and Schwann’s sheath |
| Dissection | Dissectible into 3 parts |
| Mounting | On stand with base |
| Size | 53 × 17 × 22 cm |
A schematic neuron strips away microscopic clutter so beginners can concentrate on the essentials: the cell body, the long axon that carries the impulse, and the two coverings around it. Teachers can separate the 3 parts to show how the axon sits inside its medullary sheath and how Schwann’s sheath lies outside, then reassemble the model on its stand to summarise the whole cell.
It is a practical piece of science lab equipment for class 12 and junior college biology chapters on neural control and coordination, and also works for introductory nursing and psychology courses. Because it is mounted on a stand, it can be left on display at the front of the class throughout a unit on the nervous system.
The neuron is made in India by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana enterprise that trades as ScienceLab and supplies schools and colleges with teaching models. For more on the company, open the company profile.

What does “schematic” mean for this model?
It is a simplified representation of a nerve cell and axon, designed to show the main parts and sheaths clearly rather than every microscopic detail.
Which coverings of the axon are shown?
The medullary sheath and Schwann’s sheath.
Into how many parts does it separate?
Three. When assembled, it stands on its stand with base for display.
Is it suitable for school students?
Yes. The schematic style matches secondary and pre-university syllabi; for organelle-level detail, see the Neuron Model.
How big is it?
It measures 53 × 17 × 22 cm.
What should a school include in its purchase enquiry?
The number of models, the delivery address and any quotation format required by your school or department. We supply across India and to international markets.
