BMN/HB134 Mitotic Model: Eight Parts, One Continuous Story of Cell Division

Short answer: The BMN/HB134 is an eight-part model of cell mitosis. It shows nuclear division from the first appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus through the five main stages of the process — interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and the final separation into two daughter nuclei — and then cytokinesis, where a new cell wall forms between the two nuclei and one mother cell becomes two daughter cells. The nuclear membrane is modelled as completely transparent, so students can see the chromosomes inside each stage instead of having to imagine them.

Key takeaways

Eight physical parts covering nuclear division and cytokinesis
Shows five stages: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and the two daughter nuclei
Transparent nuclear membrane — chromosomes are visible at every stage
Includes the formation of the new cell wall between daughter nuclei
Reference unit price $117.86, subject to order quantity
For biology, cytology and histology teaching at secondary and tertiary level

What each part of the set teaches

Part / stage	What students see
Interphase	Chromosomes appear inside the nucleus before division begins
Prophase	Chromosomes condense; the nuclear membrane is still modelled as transparent
Metaphase	Chromosomes aligned at the cell equator
Anaphase	Chromatids separated and moving to opposite poles
Two daughter nuclei	Final state of nuclear division
Cytokinesis	New cell wall forming between the two new nuclei

Why a physical model beats another diagram

Cell division is a temporal process drawn in a static textbook, and that mismatch is where students lose the thread: the same chromosomes have to be tracked through five shapes, then a wall has to appear between two nuclei that did not exist at the start. The peer-reviewed literature on 3D cellular models supports exactly this point. A 2023 teaching study in the Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education notes that students struggle to visualise spatial relationships between cells and macromolecules, and reports that 3D printed custom cell models increased student learning about cell size and diffusion [1]. The reasoning transfers directly: when students can rotate the object in their hands, the spatial relationship stops being an act of imagination.

The broader evidence base for physical teaching models is unusually strong. Yammine and Violato's meta-analysis in Advances in Health Sciences Education (2016) pooled 8 studies — 7 of them randomised, with 16 comparison arms and 820 learners — and found that physical models as a low-cost three-dimensional method produced better factual and spatial knowledge outcomes than comparator teaching methods [2]. Their earlier meta-analysis in Anatomical Sciences Education (2015), covering 36 studies of three-dimensional visualisation in anatomy teaching, reached the same direction of effect and warned that many graduates leave with deficient structural knowledge [3].

How to run a lesson with the HB134

Start with the set laid out in sequence. Ask students to order the parts before you explain them — the eight-part format makes the mistake visible immediately.
Narrate the cycle once, then remove one part. Have students identify which stage is missing and what would happen to the cell without it.
Link nuclear division to cytokinesis. Use the wall forming between the two daughter nuclei to distinguish mitosis from cytokinesis, a distinction that written definitions blur.
Close with a comparison. Because the site's Biology Series also covers meiosis, placing HB134 next to the meiosis model turns the lesson into a comparison of two divisions rather than two separate memorisation tasks.

Configuration and honest notes

The product page describes the eight-part composition and the five stages above, and lists a reference unit price of $117.86 that is explicitly subject to order quantity — so treat it as an indicative figure and request a quotation for a firm figure. Packaging and spare-part details are listed as a separate tab on the product page. This is a teaching model; it is not a laboratory specimen.

FAQ

Q1. What is the BMN/HB134?
An eight-part teaching model of cell mitosis, covering nuclear division from interphase to two daughter nuclei plus cytokinesis.

Q2. How many stages does it show?
Five stages of nuclear division — interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and the daughter nuclei — followed by cytokinesis and the formation of the new cell wall.

Q3. Can students see the chromosomes?
Yes. The nuclear membrane is modelled as completely transparent, so the chromosomes remain visible inside the nucleus at each stage.

Q4. What is the price?
The product page lists a reference unit price of $117.86, subject to the order quantity. Email ada-manikin@adaanatomy.com for a firm quotation.

Q5. Which level is it aimed at?
Secondary-school biology, college cytology and histology courses, and teacher-training demonstrations.

Q6. Can it be combined with a meiosis model?
Yes. Comparing the mitotic and meiotic sets side by side is one of the most effective ways to teach the difference between the two divisions; ask us for the Biology Series list.
