Where kidney function begins, clarity matters. This enlarged model presents the renal corpuscle as a self-contained “learning block,” revealing spatial relationships that are hard to appreciate in slides or diagrams.

• Bowman’s capsule is shown with distinct parietal and visceral layers. The visceral layer forms podocytes that embrace the capillary tuft, while Bowman’s (urinary) space between the layers illustrates the immediate destination of filtrate.

• The glomerular capillary tuft is fed by the afferent arteriole and drained by the efferent arteriole at the vascular pole, enabling discussions of pressure, GFR, and autoregulation.

• The model highlights the tripartite filtration barrier concept—fenestrated endothelium, the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and podocyte slit diaphragms—for a clean narrative of selectivity and permeability.

• Mesangial regions are depicted to support conversation on structural support, flow regulation, and immune complex handling.

• At the urinary pole, Bowman’s space communicates with the beginning of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), providing a natural segue into reabsorption and the nephron continuum.

• An adjacent juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) zone (macula densa region and JG cells) is represented schematically to connect corpuscle anatomy with tubuloglomerular feedback and RAAS concepts.

Use this model to:

• Explain how filtrate forms and why BUN/creatinine rise when the barrier or pressures change

• Show where albumin is retained (and why albuminuria signals barrier damage)

• Demonstrate sites of injury in glomerulonephritides and diabetic nephropathy

• Teach autoregulation (afferent vs. efferent tone) and the impact of drugs (e.g., ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs)

• Bridge microscopy with clinical imaging and lab interpretation

Educational model only. Not intended for diagnosis.
