The kidney’s filtration process explained in 3D | Part 1
Did you know your kidneys are your body’s natural filters? They work non-stop to keep you healthy by filtering blood and creating urine. But how do they do it? Each nephron contains a glomerulus—a tiny cluster of capillaries surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule. Here, blood plasma is filtered to create primary urine. The endothelium of the glomerulus has tiny openings that allow water and small solutes to pass through easily, while podocytes (special cells) prevent important molecules from escaping. The primary urine then moves into the renal tubules, where the magic of reabsorption begins. 📌 Check out VOKA 3D Anatomy & Pathology! #kidneyanatomy #nephron #renalcorpuscle #anatomy #anatomy3d #3danatomy #medstudents #medicalstudents #humanbody
