The “Human Kidney Model” (Blister Series) by IBEX SCIENCES is a three-dimensional, vacuum-formed plastic relief model designed for anatomy education and medical laboratories. The lightweight “blister” style features a raised, color-coded cross-section that makes it highly scannable and easy for students or medical professionals to study the internal structures of the renal system. [1]
The model typically illustrates the vital macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of a human kidney, focusing on the following regions:
1. Macro-Anatomy & Coronal Section
-
- Renal Cortex: The smooth, outer layer of the kidney where the initial filtration of blood begins.
- Renal Medulla: The inner portion containing multiple cone-shaped tissue masses known as renal pyramids.
- Renal Pelvis: The central funnel-shaped cavity that collects the newly formed urine and channels it directly into the ureter.
2. Vascular Framework
-
- Renal Artery: Distinctly colored in red, showing how oxygenated, unfiltered blood enters the kidney directly from the aorta.
- Renal Vein: Distinctly colored in blue, showing how filtered, deoxygenated blood is returned back into the inferior vena cava.
3. Microscopic Functional Units
- Nephron Pathway: High-quality relief details outline the structures responsible for urine production, tracking blood through the glomerulus, into Bowman’s capsule, and down the convoluted tubules and loops of Henle.
