Eisco Labs Starfish Anatomy Model is a meticulously crafted, museum-quality representation, approximately four times larger than a real starfish. This 3-part model allows for detailed study of the starfish's internal structure. Three arms show different stages of dissection, highlighting organs, the nervous system, and other key features. The model includes a numbered key for easy identification and is mounted on a sturdy polymer base, perfect for educational settings.

One arm shows normal organ positioning, another displays the ampullae, Polian vesicles, and the ring ambulacral vessel after removal of the Hepatic caeca and gonads, while the third arm is fully dissected to expose the nervous system including the nerve ring and radial nerve. A cross-sectional view of a fourth arm provides an alternative perspective on further internal anatomy.

The model also highlights key features such as the two stomachs, Madreporic canal, and madreporite, detailed for comprehensive examination. On the intact fifth arm, easily identify external features like tube feet, optic organs, and pedicellariae. Perfect for enhancing invertebrate lectures and lab dissections, this model is mounted on a sturdy polymer base with detachable components for closer inspection.

This starfish model is a valuable tool for various educational settings, making it particularly useful for high school biology students up through higher education students and instructors. Its detailed representation and large size allow students to examine the intricate anatomy of a starfish with clarity and depth. Whether used during classroom lectures to illustrate concepts or in laboratory sessions for hands-on dissection practice, this model enhances learning by providing a realistic and interactive exploration of invertebrate anatomy.
