The Motor Neuron Diorama Model represents a fully three-dimensional reproduction of a motor nerve cell situated within a milieu of interacting neurons and a skeletal muscle fibre. It is magnified more than 2500 times.
The membranous envelope has been cut away from the neuron on the motor neuron model to expose the cytological ultrastructure, organelles, and inclusions within the cell body. Branching dendrites, communicating synapses, and a myelin-wrapped axon with node of Ranvier, project from the neuronal surface of the motor neuron model. A section of the axon lifts off of the motor neuron model to let you view the tightly wound layers of the enveloping myelin sheath and neurolemma, as well as the Schwann cell that formed them.
This Motor Neuron Diorama Model is mounted on a wooden base.
