3D Kidney Nephron

3D Kidney Nephron

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.

"3D Science's [Zygote's] services and models have proven themselves time and time again. When the producers for television show "The Doctors" approached me to develop a graphics solution to their daily dose of medical information, I immediately knew that they needed the Zygote Human Anatomy Collection. The collection has been a critical piece of the toolkit ever since. I've been using their models and services since 2004 and have not found anything that comes close. The accuracy and high level of detail saved us hundreds of hours in potential clean-up and preparation. Above all, the efficient mesh density makes their models easy to work with, manipulate and render on a tight budget and deadline."
