About This File
This 3D model of nephron anatomy provides a highly detailed and anatomically accurate representation of the functional unit of the kidney. It highlights key structures, including the glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, proximal and distal tubules, loop of Henle, collecting ducts, and associated blood vessels, offering a clear visualization of the filtration, reabsorption, and secretion processes involved in urine formation.
The model effectively demonstrates the nephron’s role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, regulating blood pressure, and removing waste products from the blood.
Designed for educational and clinical purposes, this model is an invaluable tool for studying renal physiology, understanding kidney function, and visualizing conditions such as glomerulonephritis, acute kidney injury, and chronic kidney disease. Ideal for medical professionals, educators, and students, it supports teaching, training, and patient education by providing a hands-on approach to exploring the microanatomy and function of the nephron.
