The Glomeruli
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11715
The Glomeruli (SKU SCL-BLE-11715) is a three-dimensional teaching model of the glomerulus, the knot of capillaries at the start of each nephron where blood is filtered in the kidney. Made of PVC finished with non-toxic dyes and measuring 250 x 350 mm, it helps Class 10–12 and B.Sc. students picture filtration at the microscopic level. Science Lab Supplies quotes the model from Ambala, India for school laboratories, colleges, nursing institutes and resellers.
Specifications
Specifications for the glomerulus model are short and appear in full in the table. In short, it is a three-dimensional model moulded in PVC, coloured with non-toxic dyes and sized at 250 x 350 mm, giving an enlarged view of a structure normally seen only under a microscope.

Applications and Experiments for the Glomeruli Model
The model is used in excretion lessons to explain how blood pressure forces water and small solutes out of the glomerular capillaries into the surrounding capsule, starting the formation of urine. Seeing the structure in three dimensions makes ultrafiltration, and the later work of the tubules, easier for students to follow.
- NCERT Class 10 Science, Life Processes: excretion in human beings and the role of the nephron.
- Class 11–12 biology: ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption and urine formation.
- B.Sc. zoology, human physiology and nursing anatomy and physiology foundation lessons.
- Moving from organ to microscopic level after the whole kidney on the Human Kidney Model, then testing a simulated filtrate with the Kidneys and Blood Filtration kit.
Standard Scope of Supply
One glomerulus model is supplied, made of PVC coloured with non-toxic dyes and measuring 250 x 350 mm. The model comes as a single piece of teaching equipment; kidney models, urinary system models and wall charts are separate products that can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may request a price for a single glomerulus model or for one per laboratory across a group of schools. The quotation from Science Lab Supplies shows packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and the kidney and urinary system models below can be included in it.
Using its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. A message on the contact page brings a quotation for the model, the enquiry cart gathers several excretion items into one request, and the lab tender page covers formal tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a glomerulus?
A glomerulus is a tuft of tiny blood capillaries enclosed by a cup-shaped capsule at the start of each nephron. Here blood is filtered under pressure, and the filtrate passes on into the tubule to become urine.
What size is the model?
The model measures 250 x 350 mm. At that size the filtering unit of the kidney, normally visible only under a microscope, can be pointed out to a class during a demonstration.
Who supplies The Glomeruli model?
Quotations for this model come from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which packs and ships it to schools, colleges and distributors and can combine it with kidney and urinary system models in one consignment.
Which model should go with it for a full excretion lesson?
A whole-kidney model shows where the nephrons sit, and a urinary system model shows the path of urine to the bladder. The related list below gives several options that can be priced with the glomerulus model.
Related Kidney and Excretory System Models
