Nephrons
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11728
Nephrons (SKU SCL-BLE-11728) is an enlarged three-dimensional model of a nerve cell, moulded in PVC and coloured with non-toxic dyes, with a structure based on electron-microscope studies. It shows a medullated nerve fibre with its axon, myelin sheath and nodes of Ranvier for biology classes in senior secondary school and college. Orders go through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which handles quotations and shipment for schools, colleges and distributors.
Specifications
Each feature of this enlarged nerve-cell model has its own row below. In short, it is a PVC model finished in non-toxic dyes that presents neuron structure as revealed by electron microscopy, including a medullated nerve fibre, the axon, the myelin sheath and the nodes of Ranvier.

Applications and Experiments for the Nephrons Neuron Model
Despite its name, this item is a model of a neuron, not of the kidney's filtering unit. It can be used to explain how a nerve cell carries impulses along a myelinated axon, making it useful school biology lab equipment in India for nervous-system lessons from Class 10 to first-year college.
- CBSE Class 10 Science, Control and Coordination: naming the parts of a neuron.
- NCERT Class 11 Biology, Neural Control and Coordination: relating the myelin sheath and nodes of Ranvier to faster impulse conduction.
- B.Sc. zoology and physiology: revising nerve-fibre structure, then moving to the central nervous system with the Human Brain Model, 8 Parts.
- For the kidney's own nephron, the Human Kidney Structure Model shows the renal tubules, glomerulus and Henle loop.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Nephrons model is supplied as a single enlarged PVC neuron model in non-toxic colours. Kidney models, wall charts and microscope slides are separate products; if you also need a true nephron model, name it in your enquiry so that both appear on the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations from Science Lab Supplies can be for one teaching model or for enough to equip several biology rooms. Each one lists the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity asked, and companion nervous-system models or charts can be added to the same quotation.
With an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Questions about this model can be raised on the contact page, items can be gathered in the enquiry cart, and tender buyers will find the process on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Nephrons model a kidney model?
No. Despite the name, it represents a nerve cell: it shows a medullated nerve fibre with the axon, myelin sheath and nodes of Ranvier. For the kidney's filtering unit, ask about a kidney structure model instead.
What is the structure of the model based on?
Its neuron structure follows electron-microscope views and is enlarged in three dimensions, so the sheath around the axon and the nodes of Ranvier can be pointed out clearly to a whole class.
How does it differ from the Neuron Model in the same range?
Both are enlarged PVC neuron models. The Neuron Model (SCL-BLE-11742) is a schematic nerve cell with the axon, medullary sheath and Schwann's sheath, lying on a base, while this model names the nodes of Ranvier and an electron-microscope basis.
Who supplies the Nephrons model?
Orders for this model are handled by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which sends the quotation, packs the goods and arranges delivery for schools, colleges, distributors and tender buyers.
