What happens to glucose which the nephron along with a filtrate?
It is reabsorbed into the blood through blood capillaries surroundings the tubule
What makes up the renal portal system?
It is made up of the afferent arteriole which supplies blood to the kidneys. The glomerulus, which is the first capillary bed produces filtrate. The efferent arteriole takes blood from the kidneys. The peritubular capillary system, which is the second capillary bed reclaims most of the filtrate. Filtrate is what eventually becomes urine.
