Key Features
External and internal structure of a hydra
Bud, tentacle, hypostome, mouth and foot
Gastrovascular cavity, mesoglea, epidermis and gastrodermis
The body layers and cell types of hydra are hard to make out on a slide, so an illustrated model gives students a clear reference. They can find the epidermis, mesoglea and gastrodermis, then pick out the nematocysts, bud, testis and ovary, checking each against the numbered English key card. Buyers in Mali, Croatia, Gabon, Samoa, South Sudan and France can send an export enquiry for the Hydra Model.
