The proximal convoluted tubule.
The Loop of Henle is the part of the nephron that contains the basic pathway for liquid. The liquid begins at the Bowman's capsule and then flows through the proximal convoluted tubule . It is here that Sodium, water, amino acids, and glucose get reabsorbed. The filtrate then flows down the descending limb and then back up. On the way it passes a major bend called the Loop Of Henle. This is located in the medulla of the kidney. As it approaches the top again, hydrogen ions (waste) flow into the tube and down the collecting duct.

How much glucose is filtered in the kidney every day?
How much glucose is filtered and reabsorbed daily
What happens to glucose if it is not reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule?
it pass through the next tubule
What happens to glucose which the nephron along with a filtrate?
It is reabsorbed into the blood through blood capillaries surroundings the tubule
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
In aerobic respiration glucose is completely?
oxidized into carbon
Glucose and amino acids are?
reabsorbed completely unless their concentrations in the filtrate exceed their transport maximum
What does it mean if the clearance value of glucose in urine is zero?
it means that it has been completely reabsorbed. none secreted via urine.
Why does blood contain glucose but normal urine does not?
The glucose along with a lot of other things are reabsorbed in the convolued tubules of the nephron so that it is not waisted by losing it in the urine.
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.
If one says that the clearance value of glucose is zero what does this mean?
Normally, all the glucose is reabsorbed
How much glucose is filtered in the kidney every day?
How much glucose is filtered and reabsorbed daily
What happens to glucose if it is not reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule?
it pass through the next tubule
What is reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule cells?
Glucose is totally reabsorbed via secondary active transport through co-transport channels driven by the sodium gradient out of the nephron
Is protein normally included in completely reabsorbed threshold substances?
yes
What happens to glucose which the nephron along with a filtrate?
It is reabsorbed into the blood through blood capillaries surroundings the tubule
In which part of the kidney is all of the glucose actively reabsorbed from the filtrate back into the blood?
Proximal convoluted tubule
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron wit the filtrate?
In most cases it is reabsorbed. It there is too much, it will be "spilled" into the urine.
