3D Nephron Model

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.

"Zygote's anatomy products are a core element in most of the projects we are involved with, none more so than DK's The Complete Human Body where they take center stage in the book's amazing Anatomy Atlas.

Medi-Mation has been working with Zygote's anatomical models since they were first launched--it's been a pleasure to see the assets develop in detail and accuracy over time. Compared to other commercially available products, Zygote's models are far cleaner and more detailed, making them wonderful assets from which to build illustrations and animation. We look forward to seeing where future iterations will take them.

For The Complete Human Body, Medi-Mation required a highly detailed and clean set of models. These formed the basis of the illustrations for the book, which explores every aspect of the body in incredible detail. Some views are 80 percent life-size. The clear, sensible labeling of assets and clean geometry allowed us to divide the model and add even more detail without any problems, even with all anatomy layers loaded in at the same time.

Zygote's model sets saved us a huge amount of time and effort, making complex and high profile projects such as The Complete Human Body feasible in terms of both production and budget."
