Culex Head Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5214
The Culex Head Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model of the head of the Culex mosquito, presenting its sensory and feeding structures in magnified detail. Designed for zoology and entomology laboratories, this Culex mosquito head model allows close study of anatomy that is otherwise difficult to observe under normal magnification.
The mosquito head bears a pair of large compound eyes used for vision, and a pair of antennae used for sensing vibrations, humidity and host cues; in the male these antennae are plumose and feathery, while in the female they are comparatively sparse. Also present are the maxillary palpi, sensory appendages flanking the mouthparts, and the proboscis, an elongated tube formed of several fine stylets enclosed within a protective labium sheath that the female uses to pierce skin and draw blood. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents these structures enlarged for detailed classroom study.
