Sheep Brain Specimen

Sheep brains, although smaller than human brains, have similar features. A sheep brain dissection is perfect for anatomy and brain structure studies.

Use a scalpel to dissect a sheep's brain, and see for yourself what the cerebrum, cerebellum, spinal cord, corpus callosum, pituitary gland, pineal gland, sulci, gyri, olfactory bulbs, brain stem, temporal lobe, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, rhinencephalon lobe, and other major structures and parts of the brain look like.

This plain preserved sheep brain specimen comes with the cranial nerve attached.

Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.
