Here's a zoomed in view looking at the fluid flow to and from a single nephron — the functional unit of the kidney!

This was a freelance project done for a medical device company that targets lymphatics to treat ADHF 🫀

Here's an animation I made that shows fluid flow in/out of the kidneys, with emphasis on the lymphatics since they are often left out of anatomical illustrations:

➡️ Fluid enters via the renal artery
⬅️ Fluid exits via the renal vein, lymphatics, and as urine
