2.73- Glucose Re-absorption

Understand that selective reabsorption of glucose occurs at the proximal convoluted tubule


Selective Re-absorption- 

• A molecule is selected and is reabsorbed into the blood
• The molecule is removed from the blood and then it is put back in
• Normally, there is no glucose in urine
• If there is glucose, it could result in the person having diabetes
• In the first convoluted tubule, glucose is removed and reabsorbed into the blood
