Somso® Kidney Structures Model

Introduce students to the basic structure of the kidney, then examine the nephron and a glomerulus up close, all with one set of three models. The frontal section of the kidney, enlarged 3×, shows the overall structure with a schematic of the nephron and Henle's loop.

The second model, a 120×-enlarged nephron, features the renal tubules, glomeruli with arterioles, and collecting tube. Enlarged 700×, the third model, a glomerulus, shows the Bowman’s capsule, afferent and efferent arterioles, capillaries, and podocytes.
