Under normal conditions, the proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs all of the glucose, lactate, and amino acids in the filtrate and 65% of the Na+ and water.

What happens to glucose if it is not reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule?
it pass through the next tubule
Which section of the nephron performs MOST of the glucose and water reabsorption?
proximal convoluted tubule
Is creatinine reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule?
no
What are the parts of a nephron in order?
distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule
How do Nutrients return to the blood through?
proximal convoluted tubule
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 happens to glucose if it is not reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule?
it pass through the next tubule
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
Why is there no glucose in urine?
All of the glucose are reabsorbed from the Proximal convoluted tubule into the surrounding capillaries,so there is no no glucose in urine.
Which section of the nephron performs MOST of the glucose and water reabsorption?
proximal convoluted tubule
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a distal convoluted tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
In which part of the kidney is all of the glucose actively reabsorbed from the filtrate back into the blood?
Proximal convoluted tubule
Is creatinine reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule?
no
What is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule?
Glucose, amino acids, [SOME of the following] phosphate, potassium, salt and water.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
