Anatomical Models - Excretory system models

The urinary organs include the kidneys, which produce urine, and the efferent organs, through which urine is excreted from the body. The efferent organs include the renal calyces, renal pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. The kidney is a paired organ resembling a bean in shape. It is located in the retroperitoneal space on the side of the spine and has a height of T12-L2. The kidney has an upper and lower end, anterior and posterior surfaces, a convex (lateral) border and a concave (medial) border. A depression on the medial border of the kidney called the renal hilum leads to the renal sinus. This is the place where the artery and nerves enter the kidney and the vein, ureter and lymphatic vessels exit. From the outside, the kidney is covered with a fibrous capsule, which is surrounded by a fatty capsule, creating a shock-absorbing surface. Another covering of the kidney is the renal fascia. The kidney parenchyma consists of 2 layers: the lighter cortex lying on the periphery and the darker core. The medulla of the kidney is made of pyramids, the bases of which are adjacent to the cortex. The apex of each pyramid forms the renal papilla, which lies at the bottom of the renal sinus and is encompassed by the lesser renal calyx. The smallest morphological part of the kidney is the nephron. It consists of the renal corpuscle (located in the cortex) and renal tubules.

Our offer will include, among others: the following anatomical models of the human urinary system:

A kidney model for learning anatomy - our offer includes several anatomical models of the kidney. These are high-quality teaching tools presenting the elements of the internal and external structure of the human kidney. The kidney model is ideal as an aid for learning anatomy and topography for doctors and medical students. It makes it easier and faster to learn the anatomy of the kidney and allows you to understand the process of urine formation and excretion. It is also an ideal equipment for anatomical and biological laboratories of schools, technical schools, universities and medical offices as a tool for patient education.

• Life-size kidney model - this is a 1:1 scale kidney model showing the most important anatomical details of the kidney, such as: renal pelvis, renal calyx, renal cortex, renal veins and arteries, ureters and adrenal glands. This model comes with an educational card and a tripod, as well as a mobile smartphone application for learning anatomy. The size of the kidney model is 10 x 6 x 4 cm and the weight is approximately 0.2 kg.
• Kidney model with adrenal gland, 2x enlarged, 2 parts - another interesting product in our offer is a two-part model of the human kidney with adrenal gland, presented in 2x magnification, which facilitates learning anatomy. This model graphically presents the internal structures of the kidney, such as the cortex, pyramids, calyces, pelvis, renal arteries and vein. The dimensions of the model are 19x12x7cm.
• Kidney stone model - the educational model can be used in offices as a demonstration model for patients to explain the pathologies associated with the presence of kidney stones. It shows the right kidney, life-size. The model allows you to see the internal structures of the kidney, such as the cortex, medulla, pyramids, calyx, renal pelvis, and ureter. Supplied on a stand.
• Kidney cross-section model, 2x magnified - kidney cross-section model made with 2x magnification on a tripod. It is hand-painted. It presents the following structures: renal pelvis, renal medulla and calyx, renal cortex, renal artery and vein, ureter, adrenal gland. The dimensions of the model are 16x10x5cm.
• Model of the kidney, nephron and glomerulus - this is a practical set of 3 models showing the basic structure of the kidney. The first model is a frontal cross-section of the kidney, enlarged 3 times, showing the adrenal gland, cortex, medulla, pyramids with papillae, renal pelvis and blood vessels. The second model is a nephron enlarged 120 times, showing the renal tubules, the collecting duct system and the loop of Henle. The third model illustrates a Malpigh corpuscle with Bowman's capsule at a scale of 700:1. All of these models are an excellent tool for education on kidney anatomy in all its details.
