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.
"The Zygote human anatomy library is the starting point for nearly every animation project that we tackle. Having such a detailed anatomy set enables us to spend more time focusing on the specifics of our s products and devices without needing to compromise the overall quality of the piece. The models are very well built, enabling us to use varying levels of detail to keep our scenes light and optimized, which is crucial with some of the huge data-sets that we are dealing with day in and day out.

It has also been extremely valuable to be able to take advantage of the updates and upgrades that the Zygote artists continue to offer, keeping our library up-to-date and comprehensive."
