The 3D nephron model includes a simplified representation of this major structural and functional unit of the human kidney. Individually grouped vessels and tubules make for easy access and manipulation.
The 3D nephron model serves as an important tool in understanding kidney function and blood filtration. A simplified and somewhat schematic representation such as this one makes a very complex structural unit in nature readily understandable in the classroom. Features of this model include: supporting artery and vein, afferent and efferent arteriole leading to glomerulus contained within Bowman.s capsule, convoluted tubules, Henle.s loop, and the collecting duct leading to the renal pelvis. Understanding the nephron structure of the kidney is key to understanding the basics of blood filtration and urine formation.
Zygote's Solid 3D Anatomy has set the standard in CAD and Simulation for over a decade.
"I want to thank . . . the team at Zygote for proving us with the most complete and easy to use human body data-set on the market today. I was extremely impressed with the accuracy of the geometry and the detail of the textures, which gave Rushes a solid base on which to design the visual effects for "Human Body:Pushing The Limits" The continued support and upgrading of the model library, allowed us to push the creativity of our shots and surpass the expectations of our client."
