This extremely detailed model shows the morphologic/functional units of the kidney greatly magnified. Six model zones illustrate the following fine-tissue structures that serve the production of urine:
• Longitudinal section of a kidney
• Section of renal cortex and renal medulla.
• Wedge-shaped section of a kidney lobe with a diagrammatic depiction of three nephrons with Henle’s loops of different lengths and diagrammatic depiction of the vascular supply
• Diagrammatic illustration of a nephron with a short Henle’s loop and didactic/diagrammatic illustration of the vascular supply
• Diagrammatic illustration of an opened renal corpuscle with nephron and light-microscopic transverse sections of the proximal, attenuated and distal segments of a renal tubule
• Diagrammatic/didactic illustration of an opened renal corpuscle
Mounted on a base.
