Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.

Where in the kidneys does the filtering takes place?
Within the nephron (the functional unit of the kidneys), filtration occurs in the glomerolus. The filtered fluid is called filtrate. Reabsorption of filtrate occurs in a few places within the nephron, however, the majority of reabsorption takes place in the proximal convoluted tube. It is important to mention that additional reabsorption occurs in the Loop of Henle, distal convoluted tube, and the collecting ducts as well. Again, however, MOST reabsorption of filtrate from the glomerolus takes place in the proximal convoluted tube of the nephron.
When the kidneys return salts and water to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption via a process called "secretion".
Summarize reabsorption in the proximal tubule?
Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into the blood by active and passive transport.
Process of keeping chemicals the body needs?
Reabsorption
Name the process by which molecules move from the proximal convoluted tubule into the blood?
Tubular reabsorption
Reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the?
The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule. It is found in the nephrons of the kidney.
What are the 2 stages of filtration in the nephrons?
filtration, reabsorption and secretion.
What are the 2 stages filtration in the nephrons?
filtration, reabsorption and secretion.

Where does most re-absorption of water occur in the digestive system?
large intestine.in the large intestine
Parathyroid hormone PTH increases what?
increases Ca++ (but not phosphate) reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate of kidney nephrons
What are the three steps of urine formation and in what part of the nephron does each occur?
Urine formation and the adjustment of blood composition involve three major processes: glomerular filtration by the glomeruli, and tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion in the renal tubules. In addition, the collecting ducts work in concert with the nephrons to concentrate or dilute the urine..Functions of the nephrons include filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. Via these functional processes, the kidneys regulate the volume, composition, and pH of the blood, and eliminate nitrogenous metabolic wastes.
Name the excretory unit of kidney?
The nephrons are where the filtration process occurs. If you want a more complex answer, ask about the process itself.
When the kidneys return salts and water to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption via a process called "secretion".
What is the process where nephrons are reabsorbed into the surrounding blood vessel?
the process where nephrons are reabsorbed into the surrounding blood vessel is the blood cells
Most electrolyte reabsorption by the renal tubes?
Tubular reabsorption takes place in the kidneys. It specifically occurs in nephrons, microscopic tubular structures (Proximal Convoluted Tubule-PRIMARY & Distal Convoluted tubule-SECONDARY) of the kidney that number in the millions.
Summarize reabsorption in the proximal tubule?
Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into the blood by active and passive transport.
