Human Kidney Model On Board

Human Model – Kidney, on Board

Longitudinal Section Architecture: Precision-molded relief displaying the renal cortex, medulla, pyramids with papillae, and the renal pelvis, incorporating the proximal segment of the ureter for systemic context.

High-Contrast Chromatic Mapping: Utilizes a specialized UV-resistant pigment system to differentiate arterial and venous supply, ensuring immediate visual identification of internal filtration zones during large-scale classroom demonstrations.

Quick Answer: The human kidney model on board is an anatomical model of the kidney mounted on a flat board, typically showing the organ opened in section. It is used to teach the kidney’s position and external features, the arrangement of vessels at the hilum and the zones where urine is formed.

Why a Board-Mounted Kidney

Mounting a kidney model on a board turns it into something that can hang on a wall or lie flat on a bench for group labelling, without rolling or tipping. Board models of the kidney are usually relief sections showing the cut surface of the organ; whether this one adds the adrenal gland, ureter or an enlarged nephron should be confirmed at enquiry.

In the body, the kidneys lie against the back wall of the abdomen behind the peritoneum, roughly between the last thoracic and third lumbar vertebrae, partly protected by the lower ribs. The right kidney usually sits slightly lower than the left because the liver lies above it. Each kidney is capped by an adrenal gland and wrapped in a fibrous capsule and a layer of fat. At the hilum on its inner edge, the renal vein lies in front, the renal artery in the middle and the renal pelvis behind, a sequence students learn from front to back.

The cut surface is where the model links structure to function. The renal artery divides into branches that pass between the medullary pyramids and then arch along the boundary between cortex and medulla as the arcuate arteries, before sending smaller vessels into the cortex to reach the glomeruli. For a closer look at nephrons and urine formation, the kidney structures model complements this board.

Introducing the urinary system in nursing and paramedical courses

Care & Handling

Hang the kidney model on board from a secure hook or fixing, at a height students can reach without climbing.
Dust with a soft brush and wipe with a barely damp cloth, avoiding the edges of any printed labels.
Keep it out of direct sunlight, which fades the colour coding of the cut surface.

Why Choose LabEquip

Schools and nursing colleges often choose a board-mounted kidney for wall displays and shared benches. LabEquip includes it with the rest of its biology lab products; send your requirement through the LabEquip contact page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the right kidney lower than the left?

The liver occupies a large space on the right side of the upper abdomen and pushes the right kidney slightly lower than the left.

What passes through the hilum of the kidney?

The renal vein, the renal artery and the renal pelvis, which continues as the ureter. From front to back they lie in that order, along with nerves and lymph vessels.

What are the arcuate arteries?

They are branches of the renal artery that arch along the boundary between the cortex and the medulla. Smaller vessels rise from them into the cortex to supply the glomeruli.

What is the renal pelvis?

It is the funnel-shaped space inside the kidney that collects urine from the calyces and passes it into the ureter.

What is the difference between a board model and a free-standing kidney?

A board model is mounted flat, usually as a relief section, and suits wall display and shared labelling. A free-standing model can be picked up and turned to see all sides.

Is the adrenal gland part of the kidney?

No. The adrenal gland sits on top of the kidney and shares its fatty covering, but it is a separate endocrine gland producing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
