Muscle and Nerve Tissue Characteristics

In this virtual practical class by Manocha Academy, students observe prepared permanent slides of different types of muscular tissues and nerve cells using a compound microscope. The class covers cardiac, smooth, and striated muscles, as well as nervous tissue, highlighting their unique characteristics and structures under varying magnifications. The session concludes with an invitation to explore more courses on the academy's website.
