This 3D model of a kidney nephron provides an anatomically accurate and highly detailed representation of the functional unit of the kidney. Designed for educational, medical, and research applications, it vividly illustrates the structure and function of the nephron, making it an ideal tool for studying renal physiology.

Key features:

• Detailed depiction of the renal corpuscle, including Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus, showcasing filtration processes.
• Includes all key segments of the nephron: proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
• Highlights associated blood vessels, including afferent and efferent arterioles, the peritubular capillaries, and vasa recta.
• Demonstrates the flow of filtrate and blood, providing a clear understanding of kidney function.
• Realistic textures and proportions for a precise representation of nephron anatomy,

Applications:

• Medical education to teach renal anatomy and the processes of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
• Research in nephrology for studying kidney function and disorders such as chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury.
• Artistic and scientific reference for creating accurate visualizations of renal anatomy.

The model is optimized for 3D printing and digital exploration, available in standard file formats such as STL and OBJ. This kidney nephron model is an invaluable resource for educators, researchers, and artists seeking a detailed and accurate depiction of this essential component of kidney anatomy.
