Amphioxus

Amphioxus Model is a scientifically accurate zoological teaching aid manufactured and supplied by Glass Agencies for schools, colleges, universities, and biological science laboratories. This detailed model represents Amphioxus, also known as Branchiostoma, a primitive chordate that plays a significant role in understanding vertebrate evolution. The model is carefully developed to demonstrate the fundamental characteristics of the phylum Chordata, enabling students to clearly observe structural features that link invertebrates and vertebrates. The model distinctly illustrates the elongated, lancelet-shaped body with tapered ends, reflecting its natural burrowing adaptation. External features such as the oral hood with cirri, atriopore, myotomes, and fin folds are accurately represented to support detailed explanation of locomotion and feeding mechanisms. The sectional detailing highlights important internal structures including the notochord extending throughout the body length, dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal gill slits, and segmented muscle blocks. These features help learners understand the basic chordate body plan and its evolutionary significance. The model demonstrates the simple circulatory and digestive systems, allowing instructors to explain filter feeding and water flow through gill slits. Color differentiation is applied to emphasize major anatomical regions, making identification easier during classroom demonstrations. The three-dimensional representation enhances comprehension of embryological and comparative anatomy studies beyond textbook diagrams. Crafted from high-grade, non-toxic materials, the Amphioxus Model ensures structural strength and long service life under frequent academic handling. The figure is securely mounted on a stable base that allows convenient placement on laboratory benches and display tables. The balanced support enables clear viewing from multiple angles during lectures and practical sessions. This model supports lessons in zoology, evolutionary biology, and chordate classification by providing a tangible visual reference for primitive chordate features. Students can closely observe the arrangement of notochord and nerve cord, strengthening conceptual understanding of vertebrate origins. Each unit produced by Glass Agencies undergoes strict inspection to confirm anatomical correctness, surface finishing, and compliance with recognized educational standards. The accurate detailing and careful craftsmanship make it suitable for zoology laboratories and academic collections.
