2.73 - Glucose re-absorption


Selective re-absorbtion means the molecule is selected (glucose) and re-absorbtion means it will go from the glomereule filtrate back into the blood

- filtration occurs in Bowmans capsule - contains glucose (in the plasma, along with H2O, Salt and urea) 
- end of nephron is where the Urine comes out - does not contain glucose 
- If you have glucose in your urine - it means you have diabetes

- Proximal Convoluted Tubule - glucose is removed and taken back into the blood
