Axis Scientific Transversely Striated Muscle Fiber with Motor End-Plate, Numbered

This anatomical model provides a highly detailed representation of a transversely striated muscle fiber along with its motor end-plate, designed to show the relationship between nerves and muscles at the microscopic level. It serves as an excellent tool for explaining how nerve impulses result in muscle contractions, a fundamental concept in physiology and medicine.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Detail: Features an enlarged, detailed model of a muscle fiber, showcasing the striations, the motor end-plate, and the interaction with the neuronal axon terminal.
• High Quality: Built with PVC plastic and durable enough for repeated hands-on educational use.
• Educational Aide: This model magnifies the muscle fiber and its neuromuscular junction to allow for detailed observation and study.

Who Would Benefit from This Model:

• Medical Students and Educators: An essential tool for learning the basics of muscular system physiology, especially in courses related to muscle physiology, neurology, and pharmacology.
• Neurologists and Neurosurgeons: Useful for explaining to patients the basis of disorders that affect muscle control and movement, such as myasthenia gravis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
• Physical Therapists and Sports Medicine Professionals: Helps in teachng clients about muscle function, recovery, and the effects of various therapies.
• Researchers in Muscle and Neurological Studies: Provides a tactile reference for research on muscle function, drug effects, and neuromuscular diseases.

Understanding the neuromuscular junction is critical in medical education and clinical practice. The model's high level of detail aids in the comprehension of conditions affecting muscular and neurological function.
