Slide Set - Animal Tissues - Muscles & Bone

This animal muscle and bone tissue slide set contains 6 essential samples that support learning in biology and anatomy. Students can investigate striated, smooth, and cardiac muscle alongside spongy and compact bone. The slides provide clarity and contrast for visual exploration of structure, contraction, and skeletal composition.

Educational Benefits

• Reinforces core concepts in muscular and skeletal systems.
• Demonstrates differences between muscle tissue types.
• Supports learning about voluntary vs involuntary movement.
• Builds practical slide interpretation and microscope use skills.

Classroom Applications

• Compare cardiac vs skeletal muscle fibre arrangements.
• Examine compact and spongy bone under magnification.
• Conduct discussions about locomotion, support, and function.
• Use in assessments or detailed biology experiments.

Specifications

• Includes: Striated muscle, Smooth muscle (stomach and bladder), Cardiac muscle, Spongy bone TS (decalcified), Compact bone TS (decalcified)
• Format: 6 prepared microscope slides
• Suitable for: Secondary school students
