Nerve Tissue
Nerve Tissue (Product Code: SCL442/0167) is a prepared microscope slide of nervous tissue used to show neurons and their supporting cells in zoology, human biology and physiology classes. It gives students a first look at nerve cell bodies and their long processes, linking cell structure to the way signals travel through the body, and it belongs on any high school biology lab equipment list. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, packed in a white plastic box.

What Is the Nerve Tissue Slide Used For?
Nervous tissue is built from neurons and neuroglia. A neuron has a cell body containing a large nucleus, several short branching dendrites that bring signals in, and a single long axon that carries them away; the smaller glial cells around them support, insulate and nourish the neurons. Students use the slide to pick out cell bodies and their processes, and to understand why these long, thin extensions allow signals to be passed over distances far greater than the size of an ordinary cell.
Among biology teaching aids for the nervous system, this slide works best after a model or chart has introduced the parts of a neuron, so that students know what to look for before they reach the microscope. Scan at low power for the darkest cell bodies, then move to high power to follow their processes. Handle the slide by its edges and keep it in the box to protect the specimen.
Supplier

Frequently Asked Questions
Which structures can students see on this slide?
The Nerve Tissue slide shows neuron cell bodies with their nuclei, the processes extending from them, and smaller supporting glial cells. Other features, such as myelin sheaths, depend on how the tissue was prepared, so they cannot be promised on every slide.
Is it a section of brain, spinal cord or a peripheral nerve?
The Nerve Tissue slide is listed only as nerve tissue, without naming the brain, spinal cord or a peripheral nerve as the source. Contact us to confirm the source before ordering if your practical requires a specific one.
What is the difference between a neuron and a nerve?
A neuron is a single nerve cell, like those visible on the Nerve Tissue slide, while a nerve is a bundle of many axons held together by connective tissue. Students often mix up the two terms, so the slide is a useful way to show the difference.
Why do neurons have such long processes?
Neurons on the Nerve Tissue slide have long axons and branching dendrites because one cell must receive signals from many others and pass them on over long distances, far greater than the size of an ordinary body cell.
Who supplies the Nerve Tissue slide?
The Nerve Tissue slide (SCL442/0167) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. It is available to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
Can a single replacement slide be ordered?
Yes. The Nerve Tissue slide has its own product code, SCL442/0167, so a single replacement for a broken or lost slide can be requested on its own without re-ordering a full set of tissue slides.
How should the slide be handled?
Hold the Nerve Tissue slide by its edges, avoid touching the specimen area, and store it flat in its white plastic box. Start focusing with the low-power objective so the lens never presses on the glass.
