Invertebrate Dissection Specimen: Anatomy Lab's Preserved Squid Specimens are perfect introductory dissection specimens for students. The squid specimens offer a hands-on experience with a highly-developed nervous system to study and dissect. Students can also observe external anatomy like fins, arms, and gills as well as the squid's unique chromatophores (color-changing spots).
Hands-on Learning: Through specimen observation and dissection, students learn basic Cephalopoda anatomy and gain a better understanding of this invertebrate. Perfect for science students studying anatomy, biology, microbiology, and physiology. This squid specimen is great for introductory lessons on anatomy and is a great hands-on dissection specimen to prepare students for the handling skills needed for more advanced dissection techniques.
Invertebrate Anatomy: Dissection is a great teaching tool to learn about the complex organs and organ structures of squid and how they compare to other invertebrates. Students will study the unique features of the squid, like their highly developed brains and their three hearts which gives insight to their circulatory and respiratory systems.
High-Quality Specimens: Anatomy Lab preserved squids are processed by our experienced technicians under rigid quality control supervision with the highest quality standards in the industry.. The Anatomy Lab squids for dissection are 8 to 11 inches in length and have no color injection (plain).
Best Classroom Experience: Each specimen is designed to be used by 1-2 students. The preserved squid specimens are moist vacuum packed and sealed in one or more heavy mylar-coated poly bags. The fixative process offers superior preservation quality with low formalin odor and easy disposal, for a long-lasting more enjoyable classroom experience.
