2.73 Glucose reabsorption

2.73 understand that selective reabsorption of glucose occurs at the proximal convoluted tubule

Selective reabsorption of glucose
Reabsorption - Glomerular filtrate => Blood

End of the nephron: Urine
- Normally urine does not have glucose
- If there is glucose in the urine - diabetes

Proximal convoluted tubule (first)
- Glucose is removed
- Taken back into the blood
