Cephalodiscus is a small genus of sessile hemichordates belonging to the class Pterobranchia. These colonial, tube-dwelling marine organisms are known for their unique lifestyle, in which individuals live within secreted tubular structures attached to rocky or deep-sea substrates. Each zooid possesses a set of feathery arms used for filter feeding. Although they are relatively simple
Rhabdopleura belongs to the class Pterobranchia and represents one of the simplest living hemichordates. It lives in colonies on hard marine substrates and secretes delicate tubes, called coenecia, in which individual zooids reside. Each zooid extends its tentaculated arms to filter feed, capturing suspended particles from the surrounding water. Because it shares important features with
Saccoglossus is a genus of acorn worms belonging to the class Enteropneusta under the phylum Hemichordata. These worms live in shallow marine habitats, where they burrow through sandy or muddy substrates while feeding on organic particles. They play an important role in sediment turnover and nutrient recycling. Because Saccoglossus exhibits key hemichordate characteristics—such as the

Fish slides of Scoliodon are widely used in zoology laboratories to study the internal and external anatomy of the spiny dogfish shark. These slides typically display structures such as the gills, fins, vertebrae, muscle blocks, and sensory organs. Students examine Scoliodon slides to understand cartilaginous fish morphology, respiratory adaptations, and evolutionary features that distinguish elasmobranchs
Amphibian slides of the frog are commonly used in zoology practicals to study the structural organization of a typical vertebrate. These slides often include transverse and longitudinal sections of skin, muscle, intestine, liver, kidney, ovary, testis, and blood vessels. Students examine frog slides to understand amphibian adaptations, organ systems, epithelial types, and basic vertebrate anatomy.
Reptile slides of the lizard are widely used in zoology laboratories to study the tissue structure and organ organization of a typical reptile. These slides often include sections of skin, muscle, intestine, liver, kidney, testis, ovary, and scales. Students use lizard slides to understand reptilian adaptations such as keratinized epidermis, well-developed lungs, and efficient circulatory
Bird slides are commonly used in zoology and histology practicals to study the specialized tissues and organ systems of avian species. These slides often include sections of feathers, skin, muscle, lung, intestine, liver, kidney, ovary, and testis.
