Plain Sheep Brain Dissection Specimen for Biology Labs | Mammalian Brain Anatomy
This preserved sheep brain dissection specimen is a great choice for classroom activities focused on mammalian brain anatomy and understanding how different brain regions function together. Commonly used in middle school, high school, and introductory college biology labs, the sheep brain closely resembles the human brain in overall organization, making it ideal for hands-on study. The dura mater has been removed to allow clear access to internal and external structures, and the specimen is prepared to maintain excellent visibility during hands-on classroom dissection.

This preserved sheep brain specimen for dissection supports instruction in neuroanatomy and vertebrate biology, making it an excellent choice for anatomy labs, life science courses, and homeschool science programs. The removal of the dura mater allows students to more easily identify major brain regions and pathways during dissection and observation.
Did You Know? The folds and grooves on the surface of the brain increase its surface area, allowing more brain cells to fit into a limited space and helping support complex processing and coordination.
Store specimens in an area of room temperature away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze or expose to high temperatures (more than 85ºF). Specimens will last up to 12 months when left unopened. After opening, the specimen should be placed in a zip-top bag and may be kept for up to one month.
