A sheep kidney is a vital organ that filters waste products from the blood and helps regulate fluid balance in the body. An Anatomical Model of a sheep kidney typically shows the outer cortex and inner medulla, as well as the renal pelvis where urine collects before being excreted through the ureter. The model may also depict the blood vessels that supply and drain the kidney, as well as the ureter that carries urine to the bladder. Some models may also include structures such as the renal artery and vein, nephrons (the functional units of the kidney), and the renal capsule that surrounds the kidney. These models are commonly used in educational settings to help students learn about the structure and function of the kidney, as well as in medical settings for patient education and surgical planning.
