About This

• Introductory Dissection Specimen: Anatomy Lab's Preserved Earthworm Specimens are perfect introductory dissection specimens for students. The earthworm is unique due to its lack of skeleton and its delicate and intricate nature. The preserved earthworm dissection specimen is large at 8-10" making it easier to dissect compared to other earthworm types.
• Hands on Learning: Through specimen observation and dissection, students learn basic annelid anatomy and gain a better understanding of this invertebrate. Perfect for science students studying anatomy, biology, microbiology, and physiology. This earthworm specimen is a great hands-on dissection specimen to prepare students for the handling skills needed for more advanced dissection techniques.
• Invertebrate Anatomy: Dissection is a great teaching tool to learn about the complex organs and organ structures of the earthworm and how they compare to other higher invertebrates. Students will study the unique features of the earthworm like the Clitelum, the digestive system that runs the length of the body, and a respiratory system that doesn't use regular respiratory organs.
• High-Quality Specimens: Anatomy Lab preserved earthworms are processed by our experienced technicians under rigid quality control supervision with the highest quality standards in the industry. Only quality specimens with a well-developed clitellum are chosen. The Anatomy Lab earthworms for dissection are 8 to 10 inches in length and have no color injection (plain).
• Best Classroom Experience: Each specimen is designed to be used by 1-2 students. The 10 packs of preserved Earthworm - Lumbricus specimens are moist vacuum packed and sealed in one or more heavy mylar-coated poly bags. The fixative process offers superior preservation quality with low formalin odor and easy-disposal, for a long-lasting more enjoyable classroom experience.
