How to draw TS of spinal cord

Transverse section of spinal cord, shows butterfly shaped or  'H' shaped grey mater. Each segment of H shaped grey mater is called Horn. The upper horns are called Dorsal horns, and the lower horns are called Ventral horns. In the middle of the grey mater is a canal called Spinal canal. It runs all along the length of the spinal cord and is filled with cerebro spinal fluid. 

   From the sides of spinal cord, 31 pairs of nerves take their origin one from each side and supply branches to various parts of the body. Basic function of spinal cord is to act as a relay station-receiving information from various parts of the body parts below the head and send this information to brain. Similarly, it receives information from brain and sends this information to other parts of the body. In addition to this spinal cord also plays a major role in the reflex actions.


1.Draw a inverted apple shape as shown in figure.


2.Make a loop at bottom, make two protrusions at the tip. 


3.Draw spinal canal at center and mark four lines in position for dorsal horns.









4.Draw grey mater as shown in figure. 


5.Draw ridges along the grey mater as shown. 


6. Draw the star patterns in grey matter as shown. 


7.Make several curves along contour  


8.Put several neat dots in white mater. 


9. Draw outer Pia mater as shown.









10.Label the parts as shown.






The same shape of  TS of spinal cord can be used for drawing  reflex arc.Read more here.

How to draw Nephron Each kidney is made of about one million single units called nephrons. These are the structural functional units of the kidney and concerned with separating urine from the blood. Each nephron is made of two main parts called malpighian body and covoluted tubule.Malphigian body is double layered cup also called bowman`s capsule. The inner cup consists network of capillaries called Glomerulus.                                    Now let`s start the diagram. 1.Draw a egg shape and  make a folded curve as shown in the figure and     attach it to a vertical line. 2. Draw double line along the curve and draw Glomerulus as shown in the      bowman`s capsule. 3. Draw the capillary network as shown in the fi...

How to draw skin LS Our  skin  is the sense organ for touch. It contains cutaneous receptors for touch. The skin consists of two main layers called epidermis and dermis. Epidermis is the layer for protection. It has outer stratum corneum or cornified layer containing dead cells, middle granular layer containing living cells and inner malpighian layer containing the cells dividing constantly.  Dermis lies below the epidermis. It is made up of elastic connective tissue. It contains sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, blood vessels and fat. Here we start the diagram. 1.Draw a cuboid shape as shown.  2.Draw the epidermis and endodermis as shown.  3.Draw hair follicles and other details of the skin as shown.  4. Label the parts as shown.
