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 Solid 3D Anatomy has set the standard in CAD and Simulation for over a decade.

"One of the main reasons we (Ghost) upgraded was to take advantage of the improved texturing and increased accuracy of the bony anatomy. Historically, we've spent a goodly amount of time trying to massage previous versions into shaders and geometry tweaks that stood up to the scrutiny of a close-up shot. With version 5 of the male and female anatomy collections, all I did was light it. No screwing around. Just animate, light and render... Honestly? The surgical procedure portions were the easiest part of this production."
