Recently a new approach was presented where astronomical objects as galaxies and clusters are idealized as self-gravitating systems living in a universe endowed with more than 3+1 dimensions. A such paradigm, named GEDi (Gravitation with Extra Dimensions), may solve exactly the missing mass problem for rotation curves of galaxies or gravitational lensing of clusters with no dark matter particles. Here we present an introductory discussion about the construction of a real galaxy using a Miyamoto-Nagai solution for isotropical coordinates to mimic spiral galaxies with bulges.
